:) Hello Andrew and Karen!

Im a primary school teacher and got my Teaching Australia Skills assessment back pretty quickly. It took about 6 wks on the whole. Sent off the documentation early November and received my Skills assessment certificate 11th Dec 06. They also send you a letter of acknowledgement to let you know they have rec your application. I presume this is also when they would ask you for any more information you may have missed.
With regards as what documentation to send this is what I enclosed:

1.Certified Copy of Ref from headteacher regarding curriculum duties etc, hrs worked, where you are on the pay spine, how long you have worked at the school. Also attached my official job description to this too. We had also just had an Ofsted inspection so I attached that with regard to my lesson obs.?!?!
2. Certified copy of Degree certificate
3. Certified copy of Academic Transcript of your degree (had to ring uni for this)
4. Certified copy of Information showing how many days supervised teaching practice I did during my degree (had to ring uni for this)
5. Certified copy of a pay slip
6. Certified copy of grades I achieved at GCSE and A Level (evidence of secondary education in UK)
7. Certified copy of my certificate that showed I had completed my NQT year satisfactorily
8. Certified copy of birth certificate

I think I went a bit bonkers but just didn't want the hassle of having to do anything again!

We are now working our way through the rest of the application process which is a bit mind boggling! :roll: Have you any idea where you want to live in Oz?

Hope this helps you!
