The Victorian department is addressing the teacher shortage in Australia by offering some financial incentives to International teachers wanting to come teach in Victoria, Australia.

What relocation costs are covered by this incentive?
The main costs that are covered by this incentive are flights, Visa if needed and your VIT application fees.

How does the Reimbursement work?
After you have successfully signed a contract role, you will receive a reimbursement form that you can attach your payment receipts to. This form will then be reviewed and approved by the Department of Education.

Who is eligible for this initiative?

If I require Sponsorship, is that an option?
Yes! Some of the schools we work with have the capacity to provide sponsorship if you require it.

Do teachers still need to sit an English language test if they are coming from New Zealand?
If your qualifications were completed outside of New Zealand, Australia, The United States of America, The United Kingdom or Canada, an English academic IELTS test will still be required.
