I've got a friend who can't even find a temp/relief position Sammy, AND they can teach maths! Its just crazy hard teaching wise in QLD at the mo...
Not looking promising

Queensland has thousands of unemployed Australian trained teachers. You would be unlikely to secure a position on a WHV, however, relief teaching is an option.
Yeh I'm happy to do supply. Would Nurseries consider me?

I would be surprised if anyone could employ you without the appropriate qualification even if they wanted to.
One of the immigration agencies reckoned that you could teach primary even with my secondary qualification so will have to check with her again on that. Thanks for the heads up.

Think of a different career perhaps. Too many teachers, not enough positions in the places that people actually want to live and work. If you currently have a permanent position, don't quit whatever you do - take a career break.
Career breaks not an option in the UK unfortunately but am open to changing career...
Thanks for the advice

Teaching is a highly saturated market here. Many are already here unemployed or going from one short term contract to another. Unless you have PR or citizenship you will find it really hard to get any work I think. Sponsorship is almost an improbability - there really are too many teachers here already with no visa restrictions that can't find work.
Have you registered with the state(s) you want to work in? without registration you won't be able to work anyway...
Getting onto the registration part as we speak... Thanks for the advice.

Hi, I'm coming over on a WHV later this year, with the hope of impressing an employer and securing sponsorship/a 457 visa. Although secondary trained, I have been teaching ages 5 and below since qualifying in 2010 and wish to continue teaching this age range once in Oz. Am I right in thinking I can teach Prep with a Secondary PGCE (the same as in the UK). Also any tips as to what areas to target? I'm looking at Cairns, Brisbane at the mo. I've registered with smart teachers so far. PS Anyone got an Australian style teaching cv they could send me? Thanks In Advance x

Hi,
I'm coming over to QLD on a WHV later this year (Sept) and need advice as to where the best places are to secure Teaching jobs. Although I am Secondary Trained, I have been teaching Primary (specifically Early Years ages 5 and under) since qualifying in 2010. I would like to continue working with this age group and hopefully impress an employer so that they may sponsor me, as would like to stay on a more permanent basis. Any advice would be much appreciated as would new contacts as I'm a single lady with no contacts in Oz currently - brave or mad? Not sure which lol x

Hi,
I've just secured a WHV & will be heading out September. Although my qualification is in secondary teaching, I can (here in the UK) and have been teaching Primary (ages 5yrs & under) since qualifying in 2010. I'm interested in continuing to teach this age group when I come to Oz with the view of impressing an employer (wish me luck!) so that they sponsor me. I'm really interested in the QLD area. Any advice? Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
Although my PGCE is in Secondary Education, I have been working as a Nursery/Reception Teacher in the UK(ages 5 and below) since qualifying. I have an excellent understanding of child development and knowledge of the Early Years Curriculum and can provide evidence/references to support this. I am coming to QLD in Sept on a WHV and shall be looking for work in this field.
Please contact me if you know of any suitable vacancies.
Thanks In Advance,
Natalie
