Teacher exchange

Would you like to live and teach overseas or in another state of Australia for six months or one school year?

If you are an experienced teacher, you could advance your teaching skills by participating in a teacher exchange. Many exchange teachers find that a year in another system is an enormous boost to their effectiveness and enthusiasm as a teacher.

This program is available to full-time permanent teachers in Western Australia with five years teaching experience. Participants exchange teaching assignments and arrange for their own personal accommodation arrangement with overseas and interstate teachers for a period of either six months or one school calendar year, generally beginning in January.

As an exchange teacher, you will have the opportunity to compare and learn about different education systems, to exchange ideas and knowledge, and to contribute to the professional development of yourself and your teaching colleagues.
