I cant think why there should be a problem - the three year degree (I am assuming it is a bachelors?) plus pgce is usually enough AFAIK. The usual problem is that people have a 3 year bachelors in education which doesnt cut it with education departments here so some very experienced and in some ways better trained people are turned down. Dont be put off by the ed department, they are always going to be very defensive in the first instance and until they have checked that you really do have a bachelors and that you have done the required amount of teaching practice - your transcripts are going to be vital.
Be prepared for the application process in NSW though - I dont know if Iemma got his changes through but the plum jobs generally go to people who have done their time in the harder postings - Western Sydney or rural/remote schools. Iemma was wanting to make school appointments the responsibility of the principals but the teacher unions were somewhat anxious about that because it disadvantages their members who have done the hard yards and are desperate to be moved into "nicer" areas.
