What this means for teachers

Commonwealth of Australia does not currently have a route in our index that maps one-to-one to teachers, so the general routes below are the place to start. Teaching is regulated in most destinations, so alongside the visa you should expect a separate qualification-recognition or registration step before you can teach in Commonwealth of Australia.

The most-used skilled route into Commonwealth of Australia overall is the Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189); it is not specific to teachers but is worth understanding as the benchmark route.
