Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a CV or resume for Australian teaching positions?

In Australia, the terms are often used interchangeably for teaching positions. Most schools expect a 2-3 page document that includes your qualifications, teaching experience, and evidence of meeting AITSL standards. Our templates work for both formats.

What's the difference between state education departments?

Each state has slightly different requirements (DET NSW, Education Queensland, etc.), but all follow AITSL standards. Our templates are designed to meet requirements across all Australian states and territories.

Should I include my VIT/TRB registration details?

Yes! Always include your teacher registration number and current status. This is essential for Australian teaching positions. Our templates have a dedicated section for professional registrations and Working with Children Check details.

How do I highlight classroom management skills?

Focus on outcomes and specific strategies. Instead of "Good classroom management," write "Maintained engaging learning environment for 28 students using positive behaviour support strategies, achieving 95% on-task behaviour during observations."

What if I'm a new graduate teacher?

Our templates help you highlight practicum experiences, university projects, and relevant volunteer work. We provide guidance on showcasing your theoretical knowledge and fresh perspectives as strengths.
