New Zealand Teacher Employment Register

Western Australia is a great place to live and teach. Our public schools are located across our vast state, offering opportunities to live and work in diverse regional communities.

Our purpose is clear: every student, every classroom, every day.

The Department of Education is seeking applications from teachers currently living in New Zealand, who want to relocate to Western Australia. The appointment pool is for teachers wanting to teach in a variety of regional schools only.
