I agree with Quoll, a part time one year top up would not be sufficient. You would need one year of full time study (or part-time spaced over two years which is equivalent to a year). Have you considered doing part time study over two years? Such as a masters or related area like special needs or early education? If your Bachelor of Education is accepted here (please research), then you really do not need to do a PGCE in the same area IF that is the case. I would recommend taking some proper advice from a professional agent.

Yes, a four year degree or three year degree and one year post grad is required by all states and territories (the same is demanded of Australian graduates). A teacher must be registered to teach, whether that is in public or private schools, and that registration cannot be obtained without the proper qualifications. On another note, the one year post-grad option of study is no longer available in Australia and has been replaced by the two year Master of Teaching, for those who have an initial degree in another area.

Each state/territory has a different starting age for school depending upon the month the child is born in. This also determines what year level they enter of course. You do not have to enrol them as soon as you get here, it's fine to take a little time first.

Hopefully they should, let us know how you go. It can be a little frustrating here at times that's for sure.

No, the TRBWA has nothing to do with the visa process. It just means that the TRB has accepted your qualifications to teach in WA. Normally people approach the process the other way around, secure a visa, then secure TRB status.

Government agencies do talk to one another. I assume it is your husband who is applying for his partner visa?

Another person posted earlier today with exactly the same issue (what a coincidence), and that person said their friend was living with their partner whilst claiming a single pension. Anybody who is claiming a single person benefit whilst partnered, has bigger problems as they cross-match data all the time. Why would you put your partner's address if you were living with your sister?

UWA has a regional campus in Albany (four hours from Perth). https://www.albany.uwa.edu.au/ All universities in Perth also offer a large number of their courses online, this is the norm in Australia due to the vast landscape.

Kindys are attached to schools in WA. They are totally free and the student must turn four before June 30th in the year of entry (entry being in February). Your child is eligible on your visa. However, applications for kindy normally are taken at schools in August for the flowing February, so you may not get in anywhere. The only choice then is kindy attached to daycare or a private school, both of which are fee paying. Kindy is not compulsory, however, the following year of pre-primary is, hence every child gets a place in their catchment for pre-primary.

Haha, yep a troll. Nice one.

You've washed once in six weeks? Is this a real poster, or a troll? I am beginning to wonder by some of your other posts. In answer to your question, it sounds like it covers an establishment fee.

This is a public forum. If you want an 'expert' pay for an agent.

Term one in Perth is from the end of January,/beginning of February, it is also the start of the new school year. I have attached the 2020 school year dates for you. Also, schools have their development days at different points of the year. Sometimes at the beginning of term, sometimes in the middle, it depends on the decision taken by the school leadership team and school board.

The Masters will not count as it is the actual supervised (practicum) teaching days that count . If your teaching practicums shows a range of early childhood ages being taught then it should be fine. However, I got the impression that yours only extended down to five years old and not below that age - that's the real potential issue. Please take professional advice before submitting, do not rely on posters here.

Yes, quite a few years ago I needed a transcript but as one was not available my old uni provided a letter detailing the course, subjects studied and years attended. It was enough. However, you may face a potential issue if you are applying for early childhood based on a primary school qualification. They are quite specific with requirements here for early childhood visa purposes.
