ErmintrudeMcMoo Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chezza81 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 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.

milliem Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milliem Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Got it sorted Just sent it to the AISTL Does anyone know how long it takes assuming that all is all present and correct ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdr1 Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdr1 Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 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? Zoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
