GermanTeacher Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 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 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheery Thistle Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youe EOI will be free. If you get an invite then you pay for it. Obviously you'll need to get your skills checked first from AITSL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
