Information for Overseas trained teachers about the Australian State Education Bodies

Education in Australia is run by State Governments. This means each state has its own system and does things slightly differently. To teach in a state-run school in Australia you must register with and have your qualifications assessed by the education body for the state in which you wish to teach. Below are the contacts for each state education body.
