Skill Matching Database
Have been doing some research on skills database for Primary Teacher.
Has anyone been successful going down this route? Seems to be lots of details posted on there and can't really find any details on how many successful applicants there are?
It would appear people out their details on there forever and nothing happens
Is this route viable

Is this route viable No the Skill Matching database is almost a total waste of diodes, unfortunately. A shame because they could easily market those skills actively for the benefit of applicants.
In my view it would be better to see what state sponsorship options might be open to you, eg through state sponsorship for a permanent visa or temporary visa. See, for example, http://www.liveinvictoria.vic.gov.au...1&contentId=-1 and http://www.liveinvictoria.vic.gov.au...1&contentId=-1 . If you happen to be a kindergarten teacher then a permanent sponsored visa is possible, otherwise you can be sponsored for the regional visa as a primary teacher.
Hope that helps.

Dear AB,
Just a glimmer of hope in this morning's Age: http://www.theage.com.au/news/nation...368944842.html
Not sure what they're offering apart from wining and dining but it sounds as though Victoria is looking for teachers.

Re: Skill Matching Database
If you see your details in the Skills Matching Database, is that a good indication that your details have been encoded already and as such you should soon get a case officer?
Before you get a case officer, are all the background checks completed first?

I don't think there's a link to getting a CO when you're on the Database - my details were on there within 12 hours of submitting my application at the end of November & I suspect we're still a little way off getting a CO yet.
