Teaching in
Australia
The Education visa
allows the temporary
entry/stay in Australia of qualified people to join educational institutions or
fill teaching positions unable to be filled from the Australian labour market.
This can be for academic or lecturing positions, research positions or for
teaching positions at private or public schools and colleges.
|
Sponsorship by an Australian education/research
institution is required for all applicants whose total stay in Australia will be
greater than 3 months or those applicants currently holding a student visa. The
sponsorship application must be lodged and approved in Australia before the visa
application can be assessed.

The work condition on your visa does not allow
you to change employer or occupation.
To change employer, your new prospective employer
will be required to be an approved sponsor and you will need to apply for a new
visa. If you are considering changing, or have already changed employer or
occupation without permission, you should contact the department immediately to
discuss the matter.
You can apply for an Education visa if you:
- have an approved sponsorship by an Australian
education or research institute, for stays of three months or more,
- have been appointed to a full-time position at
an Australian education or research institution, and labour market testing requirements have
been met, you are adequately remunerated in the
position, having regard to Australian conditions and levels of
remuneration, you are employed or engaged in Australia
in accordance with relevant Australian legislation and awards, your employment in the position would
benefit Australia,
- have suitable qualifications, skills and
experience for the position to which the application relates,
- are of good health and character, and
- have no limitations on making an application
if applying in Australia.
