@emwatson Oh that is exactly what I want to hear - I have defo fallen out of love with it and it makes me sad because I loved it at one point! 

I teach geography, history, PE and health and social care! What about you? 

Where are abouts do you teach? 

Sorry I dont think I made my first post clear haha! I have got a 4 year teaching degree and 3 years post qualification experience in secondary school teaching in the UK. Whilst i am currently doing a masters in law in the UK right now - I am still keen to find out what the teaching environment is like in australia as i am thinking of potentially returning to teaching 

Hi, 

i am a qualified teacher with 3 years PQE in the UK. i am currently doing a law masters but am keen to find out what the situation is like for teaching in Aus. Is it a similar work environment as in the uk? What are the schools like?

When did your father get Australian citizenship? 

He got it in the 70's/80's (i think) through his father who was aussie born and had lived there

From what I have read it seems possible (regardless of your age) for you to do this as your dad has lived in aus for at least 2 years! The requirements are on the aussie immigration page

I wanted to do a similar thing but sadly my dad has not lived there but has the passport!! very annoying ahah

Thank you both so much for your help! Distance learning is something I have been looking into so hopefully that brings some luck!! I will contact an immigration agent! 

Last question, do you know if many companies sponsor people who are on WHV? 

Hi, 

I am currently completing my GDL in the UK and wanting to move to Aus beginning of next year. I understand I will need to get my qualifications assessed and complete extra modules in order to practice law in aus. 

I was wondering if anyone could give advice on 

1) Any idea on how many extra modules would I have to do? 

2) Would I be allowed to apply for a skilled visa (solicitor) rather than a WHV? If not a skilled visa, does anyone have any advice on what visa I could get, which would allow me to work and study at the same time, as I am conscious that I can only study for up to 4 months for each year of the WHV

3) any other general advice on moving to aus to become a solicitor !! 

THANK YOU - super grateful for any help
