Teaching Roles in High Demand Across Australia

Schools, early learning centres and education providers are all chasing the same teachers who are already in Australia. Teaching occupations are in high demand, particularly in regional and outer metropolitan areas, and the local pool only goes so far.

Employers who are approved sponsors can look past that pool. They can recruit qualified teachers from overseas, and they can hire people already here on a working holiday, graduate or other temporary visa who want a long-term position and a pathway to permanent residency.

Employers that offer sponsorship often attract the skilled people who are reliable and want to stay. That is why we run recruitment and visa support as one service, so the hire and the visa are planned together.

  • Early childhood, primary, middle and secondary teachers
  • Special education teachers
  • Vocational and university educators, and school leaders

Looking for teaching work? Whether you are overseas or already in Australia, register below and tell us where you are at.

Teachers in an Australian school

Where you could teach

Primary and secondary schools, early learning centres, special education settings, vocational colleges and universities, in cities and regional areas.

Registration and checks

Teachers register with the regulator in the state or territory where they work, and need a working with children check. We explain what applies to your role.

Visa and sponsorship, if needed

If you are overseas, or in Australia without full work rights, our registered migration agents explain what is involved. If you already have work rights, we simply look for the role.

How it works

One business from first shortlist to first day

Recruitment is handled by one team. If sponsorship or a visa is needed, the same team looks after that too, so nothing gets lost between providers.

1

Search and shortlist

We match skilled candidates to your vacancy and send you a shortlist.

2

Interview and offer

You interview, choose and make the offer. We help with the paperwork.

3

Sponsorship, if needed

If sponsorship is needed, our registered migration agents prepare and lodge it.

4

Visa, if needed

If the candidate needs a visa, the same team prepares and lodges it.

5

Start date

We stay in touch until the candidate starts, so the first day goes smoothly.

Not every placement needs every step. If a candidate is already in Australia or already has work rights, such as permanent residency, we skip sponsorship and the visa.

Questions

Common questions

Which teaching roles do you recruit for?

Early childhood, primary, middle and secondary teachers, special education, vocational and university educators, and school leaders on the skilled occupation list. If your role is not listed here, register anyway and tell us what you teach.

Do I need to be registered before I register with you?

No. You can register first. Teachers register with the regulator in the state or territory where they work, and we tell you what applies to your role so you can plan the steps.

I trained overseas. Can I register?

Yes. The pathway depends on your qualification and where you trained. Our team explains what is involved, and our registered migration agents explain the visa side if you need it.

I am already teaching in Australia. Can I register?

Yes. Citizens, permanent residents and people with work rights can register. If you already have work rights, a role does not need sponsorship or a visa.

Will the school sponsor me?

Not every school or role does. It depends on the employer, the role and your circumstances. If you want to understand your options, book a consultation with a migration agent.

I run a school or centre. Can you help with regional or remote vacancies?

Tell us the location when you submit the vacancy. We search for candidates in Australia and overseas, and we tell you what is realistic for the role and the location.

Can you guarantee a placement or a visa?

No one can. We cannot promise a placement, and visa outcomes are decided by the Department of Home Affairs. What we do is keep you informed, and explain the requirements early.
