Hi

One thing to bear in mind is where you are going in Australia.

We came to Adelaide becasue we were told that is a big demand for teachers here but work is not as easy to come by as we were led to believe.

Also bear in mind the implications for his teaching if he comes back to England. I have been teaching for 5 years and when I left Uni there was a timeframe within which you had to complete your NQT year or there was a problem with being a teacher. He should check this with his university.

Bear in mind also that Australians here calculate your wages on the experience you have. He won't have any and it will be much harder for him to get a job without any evidence of experience teaching as a qualified teacher.

Good luck though
