I'd recommend looking at jobs in your local area in papers online and starting from there. Your wife can send her resume to local schools, TA experience is transferable however TAs tend to have a cert 3 or 4 over here. You are right it will be difficult to find work in a school at this late notice and the fact that schools are on holidays won't help. In the first instance I'd settle the children in, sort their schools, try and work out where you'd like to live long term, sort out all the paperwork - banks, centrelink, medicare, health insurance etc and try not and get everything done in the first week! It takes time and a few weeks to receive all the documents that you'll need via the post. Congratulations on your move over, it's a big deal and I bet you are still stressed about getting everything done. I know I was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve deighton Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share Posted January 18, 2019 Thanks for your feedback. you don't know unless you ask we have all paperwork in order so just jobs to find we have sent in cvs and just waiting for police check to come back .like you say schools are off at the minute but fingers crossed .how long have you been here ?

benj1980 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 We've been over just over three years now. We both work in a local school (we are WA based). I sent resumes into local schools and had a bit of luck. I went in start of November and schools were planning their final teaching lists for the following year so I was lucky in that regard. I'm also a teacher so a little different to planning for TAs or EAs as they are known here. You find out more information on the school gate than you will on here concerning local jobs and other things of interest. We've met friends through kids sport and the like, there is a sense of who you know as a opposed to what you know so get networking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
