Recommended Posts

Moving to Perth in Dec, I am not planning to work the academic year 2011, prob will start 2012. However i would like to know the process that I need to go down to work as a science teacher in perth. Got a 175 visa and done skills assessment all good there. I may want to do a little supply this year if need be, how do i go about doing this?

 

any advice on teaching welcome

 

Thanks Zoe

You must contact & register with theses guys Western Australian College of Teaching

you won`t be able to do anything until you have registered. You will also need a working with children check - forms available through the post office. Plenty of supply work around just now, plenty of companies who do it we use Class Professionals | Employment Specialists for Childcare, Primary and Secondary

Make sure you have all of your qualification certificates and university transcripts! They are quite particular about the information that needs to be on there.

 

If you plan to work in a state school you will also need to register with the Department of Education to get an employee number. I've worked at a school since May having been sent to do a day of relief there through Class Professionals and I think Randstad are also coming to Perth (used to be Select Education) so might be worth checking out their website. If you don't want to go through an agency, it's a case of e-mailing your CV to the schools that you want to work at as many have their own list of relief teachers that they contact first before going to an agency.

Hi there

 

Well done on getting the visa. i was wondering how you went about applying for a 175 visa i was told I was only eligible for a 176 family sponsored visa.

I am a science teacher in the uk at the moment but hoping to move to Queensland. I have done the IELTS and police checks certificate but need my skills validation. How do I do this? Would be grateful for any advice on what to do next.

 

Thanks

I just read all the info and seemed to qualify for 175. Done the paperwork and sent it off. Very straight forward. Recieved skills assessment in June sent application off Nov and it arrived March. As long as you do the online points assessment and qualify I think you should be fine. What makes you think you are not elligable for the 175? How is the 176 different?

Thanks for the reply

I'm not sure what the reason was, but i remember the lawyer saying that 176 was an easier route. Do you lose points for age? I am 40 now. When me skills assessment comes through I will put it to her again , your time scale sounds ideal, I will have a look at the on line points assessment.

How long did your skills assessment take? They have had mine for a while and not taken payment yet, but I know there are no problems with any of the docs I sent. I checked and re-checked them

 

Many thanks

Hi Michelle,

 

Forgot I set up this forum, I am now in Oz and I am sure I have also seen your name on the 'So who's moving to perth forum'. Where are you up to? I have just come on to do a little research as my plan is not to go into schools this year. I am going to do all the registering and stuff and then see if I can pick up some hours as a private tutor as young kids and OH is working only. Thought this would also lead me well into a job when the time comes as I would then be familiar with the Oz science curriculum, but what I have read of it so far, it is very similar to ours. How are you getting on?
