Good luck with all this! It sometimes seems like a lot of red tape especially when visas have been granted. My forms are all in now and yep, it's non practising for thos eof us who haven't taught in Oz or NZ. Good luck everyone!

I don't get it either because they have said they're not really fussed but won't process my application any further at the minute and that's just the qualifications check. They will take more money of me and let me apply for non practicing because that's all I am eligible for at the minute. I understand AITSL being picky because their check is for migration purposes but I thought that would be it for checking. Still, I'll do what I have to. Onwards!

WA have said the transcript I provided for AITSL isn't good enough and lacking details. It's costing me another $500 and all that is really missing is a few details like my student number. They've said that a signed letter from the uni saying that what I have is all they give out will be enough to carry on my application which is all very frustrating. I actually want to go remote too and they're crying out for people to do it. It's all a bit frustrating as casual work seems to be hard to come by at the minute. Chin up though!

I'm sure you will do just fine! I'd love to be bricking it but this splitting of hairs is getting rather frustrating! Anyway, we'll see what happens. Shouldn't be too far away.

Has anyone else on here been frustrated when trying to register to teach? I have a PR visa and AITSL certificate and now WA have decided that my PGCE transcript is not good enough so I need to contact my university for another even though the first one was good enough. I am desperate to start work and am finding casual labouring jobs or anything else hard to come by in Perth. Any thoughts anyone especially in regards to where I can get some work to tide me over? All the best, Chall.

Thanks Sammy. This si the form I found under the 'overseas teachers' section: http://www.trb.wa.gov.au/SiteCollectionDocuments/Form-Request-for-Qualification-Advice.pdf Any ideas or can I just got for provisional registration?

Hi guys, I'm moving to WA in 4 weeks and need to get registered with TRBWA and wondered if anyone can help me with the process please? Do I need to I need to apply via the 'Request for Qualification Advice' form because I was thinking that my AITSL pass certificate would have been enough. It seems daft that I have to be assessed all over again! Any help is greatly appreciated!

I've only just seen this but I would say that from the time you make your EOI and have qualifications checked (which can take 4 months), you're looking at another 6 months. Good luck with everything!

Thanks for your help! Much appreciated!

Just wondered if anyone can help me with my registration for the Teacher Registration board of WA? I'm unsure about whether I need provisional registration or full. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Chall.

Thanks for the info. I can't claim to have any experience but government websites still have these facts on them. Maybe I was being naive but I also spoke to a person at the remote recruitment office in WA when I did a validation trip last year and was told a few times that the pool of teachers runs dry most years. I'm not looking at this as an easy way in. I genuinely think the experience would be awesome although I would be trying for a metropolitan job at the same time. I'm just keen to get involved and see how teaching in Australia compares to the UK.

There's some great help here so a big thank you. I'm heading over to WA in August but as I am aware primary jobs are over-subscribed, as in the UK, I'm going to look at teaching remote to start with so I can earn my stripes and then hopefully move to a metropolitan area after that. If anyone has any info on teaching remote, I'd be keen to hear. I am aware that it is anything but easy!
