Mix on the Move: Teaching in Australia EGuide

Hi, I’m Mikaila - or @MixontheMove on TikTok!

*UPDATED 2026: MORE PERTH INFORMATION*

I’m a primary school teacher who made the leap to Australia straight after university back in 2019. Since then, I've worked as CRT in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth where I became an Australian citizen through teaching too!

With over seven years of teaching experience Down Under and over two years on TikTok, I’ve compiled all my best tips, tricks, and advice for educators looking to make the move to Australia. I am not formally affiliated with any teaching agency, so this guide provides an unbiased view of what you can realistically expect as a teacher in Australia.

This 50-page guide covers everything you need to know, including:

• Benefits of Teaching in Australia
• Drawbacks of Teaching in Australia
• Detailed information for each state
• How to register in each state
• Casual vs Full-Time roles
• Moving from provisional to full registration
• CRT survival tips
• Frequently Asked Questions

I hope this guide can be your easy companion as you navigate the tricky business of visas, contracts, registrations and in general- stress!

Goodluck with your journey! <3
