Registering as a teacher in Victoria
Hi, we move in May. My wife wants to register before we go. Does anyone have any experience of registering for Victoria BEFORE the move?
1. How do we pay from the UK? All the prices are in $
2. They seem to want someone to sign it in Victoria (the person who gives you your character reference). Has anyone done this in the UK?
Anyone done this before?

paying: goto your bank and do a bank transfer, from GBP to AUSD make sure the amount also covers fees for exchange rates !

Sorry, can't help on registering before you go (I'm registered in Vic but from my time when I lived and taught there) but is this link of any help? As Timber said it is easy to arrange a bank draft in A$'s at any UK bank.

The website is below and you can complete forms online ready to print (although some boxes cant be filled in and need to be done after printing it I seem to remember).
http://www.vit.vic.edu.au/
You can send your forms off wihtout payment and then pay it on-line (same website) using a visa card once they send you an invoice. As easy as 1,2,3.
Her character reference was sent off with the applicaiton and was signed by a friend in the UK.
The assessment came back OK so we must have done something right.
Hope this is of use

With regards to the payment. Once they start to process your registration, they send you an invoice, which you then pay via their website.

Re: Registering as a teacher in Victoria
Could you please help ?
We are close to getting our visa (fingers crossed, received pre-grant letter) my wife is a primary school teacher and will need to register to teach in Victoria. There appears to be two application forms on the web page earlier in this thread can anybody advise which one she needs to fill in ? My wife graduated in 1996 and has been teaching in UK for last 8 years full time, we are both British and she has never taught abroad. She trained via a 4 year course in UK.
Also any general advice on job hunting for teachers in VIC would be good, i.e need to fill in one application form for all posts or different CVs and forms for each post applied for. Looking to move in January all going well.
Many thanks
Scott

I do not believe so. To work in NSW, you will have to register separately with the New South Wales Institute of Teachers (NSWIT)

I hope this helps.

Supposed to be very easy to get supply teaching which is an excellent lead in to schools and you get to "interview" them to see where you want to go.
Apparently take home pay for emergency teaching in secondary school is $160 per day.
I've been told all this by Australian teachers so it sounds prettty factual.
