Firstly - thank you to everyone who has posted on this thread. I've just read through all 44 pages and feel so much more clued up about moving to WA next year. I hope you won't mind me asking a question though? I've searched through the forum but find the info I need.
Our plan is to submit an EOI for a 189 visa in December. I'm getting ready to the the IELTS soon to ensure I have enough points. I'm also going to get my skills assessment sorted out with AITSL. Hopefully we'll be invited to apply for the visa and then get the medicals and police checks done. In theory, I'm feeling okay about all of this. The bit that's confusing me is how I register to teach in WA. I've read all the info on the TRBWA website, but still don't understand which type of registration I should be applying for. I have a BSc in Maths plus a PGCE. I've got nine years teaching experience, plus I'm HoD (although appreciate that I'll be scrapping that position to move overseas), however, the website says "Until such time as such teachers either study or teach in Australia/New Zealand they will be unable to be granted registration in the Full or Provisional categories. However, overseas teachers in this position may still apply for Limited Registration or apply for Non-Practising Registration." Does this mean I have to apply for Limited Registration? The form to do this looked like it needed to be supported by an employer, but I didn't think I could apply for a job without being registered... deary me!
Hopefully what I've written makes sense. I'd be really grateful for any advice you can offer.
