Unregistered	G'day Babs and :welcome: aboard. :D Teaching in Australia is governed by each state, so it depends where you are heading to. However, have a look through this site - Teaching Australia, which should give you an idea of what you need to know, I hope. :) PR

I had a 3 year BA and have finished my DipEd here last year. I can now work from prep to year 12 so it was worth the wait as that would never have been possible in the UK. Good luck. Nicky
