Teaching in OZ

Can anyone help???

Can you teach in Australia in your NQT year? Or do you need endless years of classroom experience.....?

OH has passed PGCE and we want to get to Australia as soon as possible.

As far as I'm aware, teachers need to have completed their NQT year in the UK so that they have some working experience. Technically you are not fullly qualified until you pass your NQT year. However, contact Teaching Australia. Their email is: overseasquals@teachingaustralia.edu.au

If your OH is teaching secondary maths or science, things may be easier as they are subjects in demand.

Hope this helps

Good luck!

When I passed my skills assessment I needed to have completed 3 years teaching. Not sure on the ruling now but if I can help anyone out (I teach in Victoria), just holler!

Thanks Wll
OH is teaching science as he has chemistry degree. The reason I asked the question was I'm aware that the cut off age for immigation is 45, am I right???? Well, Im 40 and the longer we wait for OH to get experience the less likley we will end up in Oz!!
I've been reading a few of the threads and some other sitesand is seems quite hard to land a job before you leave England, if you want to go to say the "nice areas" like Perth. But, if you want to teach in the more rural areas it's quite easy.I am really quiet apprehensive about leaving UK without OH having work!!! Has anyone got any experience of what processes we need to go through, or any teaching agencies that help you before you leave?
My sister leaves on the 13th October to start life in Perth as a nurse. An agency got her the job, the hospital called her from Perth and everything was sorted from here in UK. HOW NICE!!! Does this happen with teaching, I haven't heard any stories yet???? HELP

OOOHHH Its driving me bonkers.
