Australian Visa options???
Hi guys,
I am new to the site and was wondering if anyone is able to help me figure out which visa I would be able to move out to Australia on.
I am looking to move to Australia mid to late 2018. I am currently a special educational needs teacher specialising in profound and multiple learning difficulties in the UK and understand I might qualify for a skilled workers visa?
However if I do this Visa can I only teach special needs out in Australia or could I work within the education profession? I am not sure I want to restrict myself to just teaching if other opportunities should arise.
If anyone could help in anyway that would be lovely.
Even if you are unable to help I am really grateful you have taken the time to read this.
Thank you

Do the visa wizard and see what comes up. Do you have a teaching degree and could you pass the skills assessment? Are you under 45? Of good character and health?
Once you answer those questions you could be eligible for a visa. If you do get a permanent visa you can work in whatever job you can find. Or no job at all. You're a permanent resident and can sit at home filing your nails all day if you have the money to do so.

Thank you very much for your reply. I am in my early twenties and have both a bachelor's degree in Education and a post graduate certificate of education (Teaching degree).
It's reassuring to know that a perminant visa can mean I can do anything, Thank you.

You meet AITSL's educational requirements in terms of having the minimum of 4 years' university education.
In meeting the specific teaching requirement though, we would need to know more about the qualifications you have. Which of these qualifications (if any) is in Special Needs?

Richard

Hi Richard,
Both are in special needs.
My bachelor's degree is in education, social inclusion and special needs.
My subject for my PGCE is special needs, I am trained in post 14 but can teach any age.

Excellent. For the purpose of the skills assessment, the PGCE will need to include a minimum of 45 days teaching placement in a school setting with pupils with special needs, which I'm sure yours does.

Re: Australian Visa options???
My PGCE covered the minimum days teaching, I was based in a college working with 19 - 25 year olds defined as having special educational needs. But my experience since qualifying has been working across all age ranges from 7 year olds to 19 year olds all defined as having profound and multiple learning difficulties.
