It’s relatively low cost to get a skills assessment and submit an EOI. Have a look at the AITSL criteria for skills assessment and see if you think you’ll pass. You need 4 years at uni and to prove so many days supervised teaching. 
 

I am a French teacher and got my 189 in 2023 on 65 points so it can be done. 

Sounds good. What about the 4,640 AUD visa cost ? Will they just be charged if I get an invitation ?

If you get a 189, you can work at anything you like as long as you can secure the job. No need to stay in any one profession.

Thanks for the quick answer !

Hello,

I am thinking of moving to Australia as a Secondary school teacher with a 189 visa. Is there any restriction connected to the visa in terms of working in this role ? In New Zealand there are some requirements. "If you are working in this role, and are eligible, you can apply for residence after 2 years working in New Zealand". 

Do I need to work as a teacher in Australia to keep Permant Residence ? I mean they invited me to come to Australia to work as a teacher. What happens when I (in the unlikely event that the job is different in Australia and I don´t like it) change jobs, do I still keep my PR ?

Hope to hear from you !

Hello everyone,

I was always keen on moving to Australia after my Working Holiday in 2016. But I could never reach the high points - 80 points at least. Now it´s quite low in the 65 - 70 points range after Covid and I want to give it a shot. But I am teaching Physical Education and English (as a non-native speaker from Germany) and those are subjects that are not particularly in high demand. Even though I could make the points, would get an invitation with my subjects ? From what I heard they look for Maths, Science or Technology and not Physical Education, so why should they invite me ? I can´t imagine they invite someone they don´t particularly need and rather want someone with subjects in demand.

So my question: Do they look just at the points or also the subects in the 189 ? Should I give it a shot ?

Thanks to everyone for replying !

But is there a list with the recent point limits online somewhere ? I would be really keen to know what other applicants needed to get an invitation.

You are correct.  65 points is the absolute minimum you need to be eligible, but in practice it's not nearly enough.  People talk about "a queue", but it's not really a queue, it's a competition, and the people with the most points win.  You need to find a way to increase your point score or it's not worth even applying.

Hey and thanks for your message !

With how many points do you think it is worth applying ? Do you think an applicant with 75 points has a good chance ?

Thank you

Hello everyone,

I saw that Secondary School Teachers are on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List. I am definately planning to apply, but I would reach 65 points maximum. I looked everywhere, but didn´t find where the point limit is published. I have doubts that 65 points are enough to secure me an invitation to apply. Is there a list with the recent point limits online somewhere ?

Or can you tell me from experience what was needed in recent years to secure an invitation ?

Greetings from Germany
