So, you’ve decided to make the journey to Australia to teach abroad! Now, where should you start?

You could try to prepare everything within a few weeks and do your own research…however, why not take advantage of having a chat with specialists first and give yourself at least a few months to get organised?

And all completely free of charge the whole way through! 

Though you don’t necessarily need more than a year to plan your journey (especially if you’re travelling on a Working Holiday Visa), we can help you begin your preparations at any point! You do not need to have your visa granted or flights booked prior to speaking with our team. We will discuss those details with you to help ensure you feel as confident as possible! 

Giving yourself a few months to plan and organise your trip to Australia means you are giving yourself the best opportunity to work as soon as possible on arrival, dependent on which State you travel to. It’s all about setting you up for success in the classroom and throughout your Aussie adventure! We can guide you through all the paperwork and compliance required to teach in Australia and take the stress out of your relocation.
