Make the Best Decision for You

It’s one thing to find a job, but there’s a land of information and research to be done when you make the monumental decision to move across the world.

Leading Out supports teachers from your initial inquiry to your flight home. Your accommodation, VISA, bank details, teacher registration, social network, flights and tours–we’ll help you make safe and secure decisions.

Let’s not forget that you’ll be teaching a new curriculum, for a very different cohort: we’ll help you work that out, too. Our Overseas Club will ensure that you know like-minded people when you arrive. We also offer a free resource section featuring a Facebook group and the Teach N’ Traveller Blog.

Plus, any questions you have about your unique situation can be answered within 48 hours, which means that you can have a person to talk to every step of your way overseas. Remember, too, that Leading Out is run from Australia by Canadian teachers–use our wealth of knowledge to make your transition smooth.

If you’re still ’not sure’:

Check out our testimonials section where other Canadian, UK, and USA teachers describe their experiences with Leading Out.

“At Queen’s University, over the last 20+ years, we have helped thousands of teachers secure positions overseas in dozens of countries. From that perspective, I would encourage anyone interested in teaching in Australia to consider using the services of Leading Out. I appreciate the comprehensive nature and the caring quality of the service provided to teachers.”

Who will be Assisting Your Big Move?

Leading Out is run by Canadian citizens, educators, and travellers, who live in Australia, which means that we understand your needs when you make the decision to travel and teach overseas. As teachers, we understand the curriculum similarities and differences and the help you may need. As travellers, we want to ensure that your adventure is smooth and enjoyable.

How Can Leading Out Support You?

It can be a challenging and somewhat scary decision to move to the other side of the world, but with Leading Out, you will be supported before, during, and after your venture to Australia. Take a look at some of our testimonials from Internationals teaching with Leading Out. We also provide a support network - the Overseas Club, for our teachers where we get together for drinks, weekend getaways, and much more!

Our schools in Australia are mainly government schools across Melbourne, Queensland and Northern Territory. If you would like to learn more about teaching in Australia, go to the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) or Contact us with your specific questions.

What are schools like in Australia?

Schools in Australia generally consist of Government Registered, Independent, and Catholic schools. Like other countries, schools differ depending on location, and size of the school. Most students wear a uniform (even in government schools) with staff dress being variable; we advise all teachers to pack professional dress.

At Leading Out, you have the opportunity to teach in both government registered and independent schools, and in rural and urban areas depending on your flexibility for travel and where you are located. Leading Out attempts to use schools which are close to public transport in an effort to make it easier for teachers to get to work.

In rural areas, you can get a true sense of living and working in Australia with some schools having a smaller population of students and staff.

Melbourne, the “newer, improved Sydney”

Public Transportation in Melbourne

Melbourne’s public transport system is easy and affordable. One MET card allows you on any train, tram, or bus. There are many choices: 2 hour, daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly MET card passes. If you are here for an extended period of time, Leading Out suggests a monthly MET card as it is cheaper in the long run. For schedules and fares, please go to: http://www.metlinkmelbourne.com.au

Travel Time from Melbourne to Other Cities in Australia

Melbourne is a great city as it is fairly central to other major destinations. When travelling to Melbourne from an international destination or domestically, make sure to fly into the Tullamarine airport which is only 20 minutes to the city. The Avalon airport may have cheaper fares but it is about an hour and half from Melbourne. If travelling domestically use Virgin Blue (www.virginblue.com.au), Tiger Airways (www.tigerairways.com) or Jet Star (www.jetstar.com.au) for cheap flights.
