Abhijeet kaur Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Hi I am thinking of moving to Australia. But cannot decide if Sydney would be a better option or Adelaide. I am going to undertake a teaching degree to be able to teach secondary and primary school kids. I don't know where the job opportunities would be better out of the two cities in this area. Adelaide is cheap and not too hectic while Sydney is expensive and crowded. But my main concern is the job opportunities related to my area. Please suggest where should I go.

Quoll Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Your main concern should actually be whether or not you can get a visa in the first instance. There really isnt a shortage of teachers in Australia and if you want to live somewhere "nice" then your chances of actually getting a job should you get a visa are slim at best, unless you can teach HSC (Yr 12) level maths and physics. No one knows, given the large oversupply of teachers in the country whether teaching will remain on the skills list or not. The vacancies for new chums are usually far far away from places like Sydney and Adelaide anyway - out in the bush, far away from the beach. Only go into teaching because you have a burning desire to be a teacher, not because you think it might get you a visa one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abhijeet kaur Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 Thank you But it has been on the skills list from many years and i have seen a lot of job vacancies on seek and other websites. But where the chances are more-Adelaide or Sydney? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Jobs that are advertised usually have someone sitting in them waiting to fill them. It’d be hard to say whether either is going to be a good option really. Probably remote NT would give you a better chance of employment as nobody really wants to live there but, realistically, any major metropolitan area is going to be well oversubscribed for teachers. I wouldn’t bother with primary, there are few states sponsoring them and, then, usually with restrictions on qualifications. You’d be better doing a Maths/Science degree then a PGCE for secondary teaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abhijeet kaur Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 I have done a science degree with maths and physics and maths are going to be my teaching areas. So what do you think now?

rammygirl Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Newly qualified teachers in Adelaide have to go rural for first job. Permanent positions in urban areas only go to time served teachers. That applies to Aussies and migrants alike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abhijeet kaur Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 Thank you Are the job opportunities in Adelaide good for teachers? I would be teaching Physics and maths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
