A complete, plain-English guide for international students (India & GCC included) to qualify as a teacher in Australia — whether you’re just out of school (12th), hold a bachelor’s (BA/BSc/BCom/BBA, etc.), or already completed a master’s. Learn the right pathway, entry requirements, English tests, accreditation, LANTITE, registration, universities, fees (AUD & INR), and how Guide to Heights supports you from counselling to on-arrival mentoring.
Quick Start: Which Pathway Fits You?
| Your current stage | Best Australian pathway | Leads to | Typical length |
|---|---|---|---|
| After 12th (outside Australia) | Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) – Primary / Secondary / Early Childhood (accredited ITE) | Provisional teacher registration (then full) | 3–4 years |
| After a Bachelor’s (e.g., Mathematics, English, Economics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Botany, Statistics, History, BCom, BBA, etc.) | Master of Teaching (Primary / Secondary / Early Childhood) – accredited Initial Teacher Education (ITE) | Provisional registration (then full) | 1.5–2 years |
| After a non-education Master’s (e.g., MBA, MSc, MA) outside Australia | Master of Teaching (your chosen level) – this is the qualifying ITE | Provisional registration (then full) | 1.5–2 years |
Accredited Initial Teacher Education (ITE) programs are approved by state/territory teacher regulatory authorities under national standards maintained by AITSL (see “Accreditation & Registration” below). :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Eligibility & Entry Requirements (What Universities Look For)
-
- Academic background: A bachelor’s in a relevant discipline is ideal; secondary teaching usually requires enough tertiary study in two “teaching areas” (e.g., Math + Statistics; English + History). (Example: UQ Master of Teaching Secondary requires two teaching areas.) :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
- Minimum grades: Many programs expect roughly a credit (≈60%) average or equivalent; competitive programs may require higher. (Example: Monash.) :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
- Non-academic attributes: short statements or tools (e.g., CASPer in some states) to assess your suitability for teaching. (Examples appear in some uni pages.) :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
- English for admission: Requirements vary by university. Some Master of Teaching programs require high English (e.g., Curtin: IELTS Academic overall 7.5 with Speaking 8.0 & Listening 8.0; Reading 7.0; Writing 7.0). Always check your target uni. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
- LANTITE: All ITE students must sit (and ultimately meet) the national Literacy & Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education before graduation; many providers schedule it early in the course. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
- Professional placements: Your ITE includes supervised school placements (practicum) required for registration; checks like Working With Children and a National Police Check are standard. (Example: Curtin outlines WWCC & Criminal record screening.) :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
Have gaps? They’re not a deal-breaker, but you should explain them clearly (CV, work letters). Relevant teaching/volunteering experience strengthens your profile.
Accreditation & Teacher Registration (After You Graduate)
-
- Choose an accredited ITE program. ITE programs are accredited by state/territory teacher regulatory authorities under national guidelines; AITSL keeps a public list. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
- Apply for teacher registration in the state/territory where you’ll teach (e.g., VIT in Victoria, NESA in NSW, QCT in Queensland). Registration typically starts as Provisional, then moves to Full after your induction period. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
- Mutual recognition: Once registered in one state, you can usually transfer to another Australian jurisdiction via mutual recognition rules. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
- For skilled migration (optional): If you later pursue PR via a teacher occupation, AITSL skills assessment requires either qualifying study in English-speaking countries or IELTS Academic only (no PTE/TOEFL) with specific bands (see next section). :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
English Tests: University Admission vs AITSL vs Registration
| Stage | What’s typically accepted | Typical score | Official notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| University admission to Master of Teaching | IELTS Academic (often PTE/TOEFL equivalents accepted by many unis) | Varies by uni; some require high bands (e.g., Curtin 7.5 overall; S/L 8.0; R/W 7.0) | Always check program page (example: Curtin). :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11} |
| Teacher registration (state boards) | English evidence as per the relevant Teacher Registration Board (often aligns with high IELTS standards) | State boards publish their own rules | See VIT/NESA/QCT guidance. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12} |
| AITSL skills assessment (for migration) | IELTS Academic only (or qualifying study route) | Minimum bands commonly cited: overall 7.5; R/W 7.0; S/L 8.0 (single sitting) | AITSL English pages & checklists; IELTS site summary. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13} |
Important: Many universities will accept PTE/TOEFL for admission, but AITSL skills assessment for teachers currently accepts only IELTS Academic (or the “study in English-speaking countries” option). Plan your test strategy accordingly. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}
Can My Bachelor’s Subject Become a Teaching Area?
If you finished a bachelor’s in Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Botany, English, Economics, History, BCom, BBA or related fields, you can usually map that study to one or two secondary teaching areas (e.g., Mathematics + Statistics; English + History; Business + Economics). Most Secondary pathways require discipline depth across two teaching areas. Primary/Early Childhood emphasise pedagogy across the curriculum. (See sample university rules.) :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}
Typical Costs (International Students)
Indicative tuition for Master of Teaching varies by university and state. As a simple guide:
-
- Master of Teaching: ~AUD 40,000–50,000 per year at many universities (example: UNSW quotes ~AUD 44,500 for first year in 2025 for Secondary). :contentReference[oaicite:16]{index=16}
- Bachelor of Education: often lower per year than postgraduate ITE, but total years are longer.
For family budgeting in India, this page uses an indicative rate of 1 AUD ≈ ₹55 for quick conversion. Always check live FX. Example: AUD 45,000 ≈ ₹24.75 lakh.
