How do you become a high school teacher in Australia? This is a question I have been asked a lot in any of my teacher related videos. Today, I'm covering the ten things you need to do before you can even start teaching.
- University degrees to take to become a teacher
- Placement or professional experience in a high school
- Doing your DET interview
- Literacy and numeracy tests, accreditation and TeachNSW
I have been a high school English teacher now for nine years and it's still so hard! This job has been made even more difficult due to the pandemic, online learning and students missing so much content.

My name is Carly. I am a full-time high school English teacher living in a beautiful area on the south coast of NSW in Australia. I love reading, exercising, cleaning and making videos about organisation as well as exploring my local area. I hope you enjoy my videos, if you do, please subscribe and leave me a comment letting me know a little more about yourself.

I'm an international teacher and I recently had to do the 3 cognitive tests you mentioned. They're really quite tough, especially the literacy ones. The mindset of teaching being a "soft" career is exactly the same in South Africa.
Some more points (45 years experience) - The pay is not great - You would do better financially as an engineer or other profession (shortages here also). Also I would have earned a huge salary as a tradie and have far less uni debt. You would also be earning sooner. That said, the working conditions are OK and the colleagues are first class, mostly. There will always be some thought people to deal with. Expect a huge workload and a huge amount of marking, reading, training, and welfare happens at lunchtimes, after school, and at home. You are also a mandatory notifier, which means you will be reporting child abuse - This can be tough and you can't rescue them all. Some kids are tough - I've been sworn at regularly particularly as an executive that had to deal with discipline. Also if you are being sworn at and abused, you must have witnesses as you might not get believed. Schools also differ widely. There are tough schools where social disadvantage dominates and there are wonderful schools. Add in housing - Your rents will be huge and you often can't afford to live near your school.
Totally agree with all that!
Very interesting. There is a teacher shortage here in the US, also a school bus driver shortage. Many of the issues you discussed are also true for the US. You seem so dedicated. The kids need more teachers like you!
That's crazy and so sad. We need more good teachers, but we also need things to change in education 😔
Thanks for sharing these valuable information about teaching in Australia
I’m about to start a Bach of Education (secondary)/bachelor of advance studies at USYD, which is 5 y undergrad, but you can also do a four year Bachelor of Secondary Ed I believe!
Awesome! Thanks Caitlin ❤
UON does the 4 year bachelor of education. My eldest granddaughter has just graduated and managed to get a targeted grad permanent position. My granddaughter number 3 starts at UON in the new year studying for bachelor of education secondary English major.
@@deliawood1 that's so good that they do that now! Good luck to both of them. It's a CRAZY industry!
Don't even think about it. There are thousands of unemployed teachers in Australia. For good reason. It is a unionised, protectionist racket and you will be left on contract in hard to staff schools in regional locations forever. It has become impossible (rental arrangements) to move to regional areas.
Nice Informative video ,,I am also a teacher in India..
Thanks and welcome 🙏
Perhaps one of the reasons why there is a high shortage us that all these loop holes to get through. Very complicated.
Yes, I agree! The conditions and continuing administrative burden don't help either 😔
Hi Carly, thank you so much for this helpful video! I'm currently on track to graduate with a bachelor's from a University here in the US for Secondary Education in English Language Arts. I'm wondering if I will need a master's if my degree is from a teaching program where I have already completed certification in my state with full-time supervised practicum (student teaching). I'm hoping to come to AUS to teach, travel, and get to know your beautiful home! :)
You would just need to apply for a teaching number and accreditation with each state you plan to teach in. They will let you know what subjects you are approved to teach based on your degree. But if you just want to teach casually, that shouldn't be a problem at all 😊
Hi, just watched your video. Very helpful.
I did an undergrad on Business then did my Masters in Business then took units in Professional Education from the Philippines, then had a year of teaching experience for year 11 and 12 in a Public School in the Philippines and now living in Australia and wanting to teach as Senior High School Teacher in NSW, will my Education background will suffice the educational qualifications?
Thanks in advance
You will need to apply with TeachNSW and submit your Uni transcripts 😊
@@carlyhampton thanks!
Hi! I am currently completed my Masters of Teaching as part of a career change, and am currently in regional NSW too. It will take me a bit of time, as I am doing it part time to fit around my work and my kids... I can choose teaching methods in D&T and Engineering, or Engineering and Maths. What do you think would be more useful? My undergrad is in Engineering, and it has been >10 years since I was at uni. Just stumbled across your channel, so am binging some of your videos. Thanks!
They are always screaming out for maths teachers 🙄
I am a Maths teacher and Got a interview in Hennessy school . I want to know what is the process of being a teacher in NSW ?
I pretty much explain all of that in both this video and my previous 'How to become a teacher' videos! 😊
Hi Carly! Thank you for this very informative video. I was recently admitted to Uni Melb for the MA Education Course. However, I really have no idea if graduating from this course would eventually lead me to becoming a teacher there. I am majoring in Art because my undergraduate is Bachelor of Fine Arts. Is this the right pathway to being able to teach (secondary school)? Your answer will benefit my decision to pursue the course! :) Thanks in advance!
Yes, this sounds like it would gain you the necessary qualifications fir a high school art teacher 👌
Thank you for the informative video, just a quick question. I’m not receiving an ATAR, would I still be able to become a teacher and will that have any negative stereotypes on me as a teacher? Thank you in advanced :)
Yes, you sure can! But you need an ATAR to get into university, unless you want to enter as a mature aged student (not sure whether you have to wait a year or two). But your Uni degree is the only thing that matters, not an ATAR.
Hi Carly, Thanks so much for the informative video.
Im a secondary school teacher from Singapore with 7 years of experience in teaching Social Studies and History. i'm considering migrating to Australia and have taken a took at the NESA/ NSW website for teacher registration and spoken to a friend who have migrated to Australia with the same teaching qualifications. It seems that my teaching qualifications would be accepted but based on my undergraduate studies, I would only be able to gain approval to teach Society and Culture as I was a Sociology major.
I was wondering if I would still be able to find teaching positions in NSW given that I only have approval to teach in one subject?
Also I was wondering if you would be open to answering more questions that I have on teaching in Australia/NSW?
Given our current teaching crisis, I can't imagine finding work would be a problem. You would have to be willing to teach geography/history also and potentially other subjects. In saying that, the education system in Australia is experiencing many quality teachers exit the industry due to the working conditions. That is something to keep in mind.
How do you think teaching will look in the next 7 years or so? Thinking of studying this but I have no idea if it will get worse or better in the future I hope it will be easier to get work in 7 years
Well in the last 7 years it has gotten a lot harder. Difficult to say whether it's going to keep going that way or not.
@carlyhampton I have a feeling if it keeps going this way in the next year or 2, then something big will change cause most teachers have reached the breaking points already, I think.. I can't imagine a world where the profession survives if it gets worse
hi Carly. Do you know about the short master of secondary teaching that NSW will implement from the next year? which universities are offering it?
I have no idea. But I do recall something about UOW bringing it back.
Hey Carly!!
Hope you're doing well.
I'm from India and I have done master in mathematics and bachelor of education in India so please let me know the whole process to become a teacher in NSW.
This video pretty much covers the whole process 😊
Ahoy Carly! Absolutely love your content
I can't really speak too much to ethnicity because it may be different at different schools. But at my school and schools in my area, it's not very diverse. Teaching seems to be a very female dominated profession but we desperately need more male teachers. This is especially true in high school where our boys need good male role models 😊🙏
Hi Carly!I am a Filipino teacher. My bachelor's degree is BSEd English. How should I teach in Australia?
You would need to go through the application processes I list in the video. You would also need to sort out your working Visa which, unfortunately, I know nothing about.
I am from India and I have Bed and Med professional degrees with me Moreover I have 16 years of experience as primary school teacher. What are my chances to become a teacher
I don't really have much awareness of the primary system and how much of a need there is. Casual work would be very easy to secure.
Hi, I was born sri lanka but now i'm in australia..i'm 14 yeara old.. i'm is to be a teacher because i want to know step by step...
This video tells you step by step according to the state I live in in Australia.
Wow kids can sure be cruel. How do you deal with such nuisances? Do you report it further or take it upon yourself to correct?
It's true! A lot of the time I deal with it myself. But I usually write it up also so there is a paper trail 👣 🙃
I did Bsc.Mathematics.. Can I apply for masters in education In Australia?
You should be able to!
Did you apply yet?
I'm from India and after being a qualified teacher do I need to qualify the ielts exam ??? Or without ielts can I teach in Australia???
I'm not certain as I've never had to do that myself or go through all the Visa paperwork, but I would suggest so.
IELTS or recognised English language Proficiency test is a must.
The IELTS Score Needed for teaching in Australia if you’re applying for teaching accreditation using tertiary education from overseas is:
You need to score at least 7.0 for both the reading and writing components, as well as an 8.0 for the speaking and listening segments in order to successfully apply to be a teacher in Australia.
I hope this helps you get prepared.
