Hi, it's my understanding that you need to be a 4-year trained teacher to meet the visa requirements, and there's pretty much no way around that. However, there's a huge teacher shortage across Australia at the moment, and there are many incentives to entice overseas teachers. Each state has it's own governing body so I would advise you contact them directly to find out what pathways are available, and what additional training you might need to undertake to get your foot in the door. I wouldn't limit yourself to just one state, if I was you. You can always move around later. Here's a list of the teacher authorities for each state/territory - hope this helps.
