We are working with a supportive specialist school in Victoria's Latrobe Valley, seeking a dedicated teacher to join their team.

Internationally trained teachers are encouraged to apply. This is a fantastic opportunity for an overseas-trained teacher looking to relocate to Australia and establish a teaching career in Victoria.
VIT registration or eligibility for VIT registration is required.
The school is located in heart of Victoria's Latrobe Valley and regional Gippsland.
Moe offers a relaxed regional lifestyle with a strong sense of community, while being surrounded by the natural beauty of Gippsland.
