Yes, my parents will be moving over a while before us so we will be staying with them for a while. We also have family across there in property development, so we hope that eventually we can build!

I will be going across with one years experience and on similar money! That is so good to know. Everyone says that Australia is more expensive, but I struggle to think that it is THAT much more expensive!!

Sounds like a better quality of life in general to teach in Aus

Thanks wolvesaussie! That sounds great, I will be hoping to also get employment in the private sector as well. Fortunately I teach in Scotland, so have never been 'lucky' enough to experience OFSTED!

I take it in Australia teachers are better off with $$?

Hi everyone!

Forgive me if I am asking something previously asked or answered, but this is my first post!

I am currently finishing my PGDE in Scotland, before doing my probation (NQT) year here. After this I will be moving to Geelong Victoria with my family.

I am well aware that it is going to be a real challenge to get a full time post. However, I am looking for a little bit of advice on what it is actually like to be a teacher in Australia. How does it compare?

Also what will I need to do except from becoming registered when I get there? Do I need to sit exams or anything based on an Australian curriculum?

Thanks in advance!!
