Finding suitable positions
All our teaching positions are advertised on Edujobs, the department’s education jobs portal.
- Visit teacher employment requirements and registration for information on employment eligibility and qualification requirements, including restrictions on some qualifications approved through the Teachers Registration Board of Western Australia (TRBWA). Be aware that some qualifications approved through the TRBWA do NOT meet the requirements for employment in teaching positions with the Department for Education.
- To be eligible for employment as a teacher in the Department for Education you must hold a qualification that is deemed appropriate for registration with the SA TRB.
- If this qualification was obtained following the establishment of nationally agreed ITE Accreditation Standards, then it must meet these nationally agreed standards (nationally accredited teaching degree) or be an appropriate early childhood teaching qualification.
- Teachers who are registered in South Australia under mutual recognition from other jurisdictions, who do not meet these qualification requirements, will not be eligible for teaching employment.
You can search Edujobs for suitable positions or go directly to a filtered list of jobs:
