As part of our recruitment services, we connect schools and early learning centres across Australia with skilled and dependable Casual Relief Teachers (CRTs).
Prospero Teaching Australia currently partners with schools and centres across a range of regions, including Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, and regional areas.
We support CRT placements across Early Childhood, Primary, and Secondary education settings.
Yes, to work as a CRT in Australia, you must be registered with the relevant state or territory teacher regulatory authority, which usually requires a teaching qualification.
Only in very limited cases, such as under a Permission to Teach or Limited Authority to Teach scheme. This is typically allowed only If you're in your final year of a teaching degree or if the school can’t find a registered teacher and you have relevant subject knowledge.
We use a user-friendly scheduling app called Colleago, which you’ll gain access to once you join our team. Through the app, you’ll receive real-time push notifications for available shifts that align with your location preferences. You can simply accept or decline assignments based on your availability and interests — it’s that easy! Many schools value consistency and often request the same teachers back, helping to build strong relationships and creating a sense of continuity for both staff and students.
Absolutely! With our Colleago app, you have full control over your schedule. You can update your availability and set your preferred travel radius, so you’ll only receive shift notifications that match the days and locations that work for you.
Prospero Teaching Australia offers weekly pay for Casual Relief Teachers (CRTs), ensuring you receive timely compensation for your work. Payments are typically processed on a weekly basis, paid a week in arrears with funds deposited directly into your nominated bank account. This consistent schedule helps maintain a steady cash flow.
