What qualifications do you need to be a teacher in Australia?

Published: Mar 14, 2025

To become a teacher in Australia, you’ll typically need a recognised Bachelor’s degree and an accredited teaching qualification, such as a Graduate Diploma of Teaching. Additionally, you must have a Working with Children Check, a current national police clearance, and proof of English proficiency (IELTS 7.0 overall) if you’re an international student.

The Graduate Diploma of Teaching meets Australian teaching standards and prepares you thoroughly for teacher registration and professional classroom environments. For personalised guidance or assistance with enrolment feel free to contact our team.
