What are the teaching job vacancies and opportunities like in Australia for international students?

Teaching jobs are available for international students in Australia, but there are important requirements and limitations.

- Work rights: International students can typically work up to 40 hours per fortnight during term, and unlimited hours during breaks (subject to change).
- Qualifications: Most teaching roles require relevant degrees and, for school positions, registration with Australian teaching authorities.
- Types of roles: Opportunities exist in English language teaching (often needing a CELTA or similar), as well as some roles in primary, secondary, and vocational education for qualified candidates.

Competition can be strong, and eligibility depends on your visa and qualifications. For the latest openings and to check your eligibility, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
