Visas and sponsorship

Australia is a big country with plenty of big opportunities for teachers. As the economy of WA continues to grow we need more teachers, particularly in country (rural) areas. If you are a primary or secondary teacher who is looking for great employment opportunities and a fantastic Aussie lifestyle, WA is your perfect destination.

In order to teach in WA you must:

• have a visa with working rights, or
• apply for sponsorship under the 457 temporary, long stay visa program, or
• have New Zealand citizenship.
