aniena Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Hi My skoonsussie hulle wil graag immigreer maar het nie genoeg punte vir 136 nie . So ons kyk na regional visa (victoria or south australia). Die probleem is net dat die state eers wil he jy moet by hulle registreer om te kan werk, maar jy kan nie 'n werks visa kry sonder 'n werk nie. Hoe gaan mens te werk om 'n regional visa te kry vir onderwysers. Sy het 18 mde laas by 'n skool gewerk maar het as private teacher in haar gemeenskap gewerk in die tyd. Enige raad en bystand sal ons waardeer. GroeteAniena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 (edited) Hello AnienaI only know about the steps required for sponsorship by Victoria...The first thing she will need to do is get her teaching qualifications assessed by "Teaching Australia" (see http://www.teachingaustralia.edu.au/ta/go/home/pid/418). Part of that process will require that she sits the IELTS (compulsory for all teachers to do it and the minumum mark is the highest required - 7). That whole process took me about 4 months.Next she will have to have her qualifications assessed by Victoria Institute of Teaching (see http://www.vit.vic.edu.au). That process takes about 2 months (the post office is very slow).Once she has both of those she can apply for either STNI (State/Territory Nominated Independent Visa) or a SIR (Skilled Independent Regional) visa from the Victorian government depending on her specialisation and where there is a need. Lots of info on options and the steps involved at http://www.liveinvictoria.vic.gov.au.Hope that helps...Norm Edited December 5, 2006 by Norm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kangaroo Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Hi Aniena Vir Suid-Australië is die volgende van toepassing:Immigration SA ('SA' as in "South Australia") is die sponsorship authority met betrekking tot state sponsorship vir SIR (Skilled Independent Regional visa) in Suid-Australië. Dis m.a.w. hulle wat mens sal sponsor indien mens Suid-Australië oorweeg op SIR visa. Hulle website is www.immigration.sa.gov.auOnce Immigration SA mens sponsor, doen mens aansoek by DIMIA (www.immi.gov.au) vir die SIR visa. Mens kan online aansoek doen en net die ondersteunende dokumentasie (unabridged birth certificates, police clearance, tersiêre akademiese rekords/academic transcripts/IELTS uitslae/skills assessment etc. vir hulle pos/courier.Sien die pdf attachment hieronder ook vir meer in-diepte detail oor die SIR visa.

Rison Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 (edited) Hoe jy ookal daarna kyk aan die einde van die dag moet jy werk kry by 'n skool. So my advies is om eers by die Onderwys Raad jou kwalifikasies te laat assesseer, dit vat nie te lank nie. Dan is jy "Eligible" om te "Teach" en kan jy ook registreer na die Raad hulle eie "Police Clearance" gedoen het. Skole sal jou eers werklik begin oorweeg vir werk as hulle sien jy is "Eligible" en kan registreer. Sodra jy by die punt kom en 'n skool wil jou he dan kan jy die 457 Visa of RSMS permanente Visa proses volg. Dit hang van die skool af hoe hulle wil sponsor. Die vraag is groot in die Regional Areas na Onderwysers-veral LO / Wiskunde / Wetenskap / Tegnies en Tegnologie. Die Suid Australie Onderwys Raad aanvaar byvoorbeeld SA se Engels en jy hoef nie IELTS te doen nie. Ek weet ook van 'n vriend van my wat 'n hele ruk uit die onderwys was en steeds suksesvol was met sy 457 en later RSMS permanente Visa. Dit is die voordeel om Regional te gaan.

Bob Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 What sort of work is your skoonsis doing? Primary? or Secondary? and has she much experience . . or is it just 18 months so far?From memory, I don't believe that you need to do the IELTS if you wish to teach in South Australia or Queensland. Just check on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 I don't believe that you need to do the IELTS if you wish to teach in South Australia or Queensland. Just check on that.The IELTS was a requirement set by NOOSR (who used to do the teacher qualification assessments for general skilled migration before Teaching Australia) - I assume that Teaching Australia will insist on the same. Despite having majored Cum Laude in English and taught English, they still insisted that I sit the exam (there was another post by another teacher a few weeks back about this too - name and post escapes me). The individual Education departments in each state differ in their requirements for registration but all of them seem to insist on your teaching qualifications be recognised by Teaching Australia as a first step...But I did mine a couple of years ago, so the rules may have changed.

Tracy Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 IELTS and teaching qualification recognition? Ha! This has just set me back 3 months and a whack of SA rands.I queried this with a nice lady at Teaching Australia and as understanding as she was, she pointed out that things in South Africa have changed so much (for the worse I believe we must read between the lines...) that they have decided that across the board all professions must write it.Now I've got over the frustration, I also know it is a pre-requisite for many other things in the paperchase.Remember that it will be something that could be used for other job applications.Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rison Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Tracy, you don't have to write IELTS if your skills are assessed by the Teachers Registration Board of South Australia (TRB). I think Qeensland TRB has the same ruling at the moment. Look at their websites and follow link to "Overseas Teachers". They recognise South African Teaching Qualifications and English even if you did your training in Afrikaans. We are accepted by them along with a few other countries. We followed that process a year ago and it is still the same. This will enable you to start looking for jobs and register. It is not the normal direct Permanent Visa Route via "Teaching Australia" but will allow you to use a 457 visa option when you are sponsored by a school. Focus on Regional Areas and you may even get a RSMS sponsorship this way. Unfortunately not even our Migration Agent knew this at the time we applied and I did it on my own and was successful. When we applied for our RSMS it never even came up once that we had to do IELTS and it was approved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
