Change of career
Hi everyone, hope we are all ok. I have been away for a while having a think of changing careers. I have recently enrolled back at university studying a BSC(Hons) in sports, exercise and health science with the hope of becoming a secondary school teacher. I’m hoping this will give me additional support and help me and my family with a possible sponsorship to Australia or NZ

Hi Luke,
Great to hear from you again, mate, and thanks for the update. 😊
Pursuing a degree in sports, exercise and health science with the aim of becoming a secondary school teacher is a promising pathway. Teaching is regularly listed on Australia’s Skilled Occupation List, particularly in fields such as science, health, and physical education.
To be eligible for visa sponsorship in the future, here are some steps to consider:
-
Complete your degree and then undertake a postgraduate teaching qualification such as a Graduate Diploma in Education or a PGCE equivalent.
-
Gain registration and experience as a qualified teacher, as both are usually required for skills assessments.
-
Once qualified, you may become eligible for skilled visas such as the Skilled Independent (Subclass 189), Skilled Nominated (190), or Skilled Work Regional (491).
New Zealand also has clear teacher pathways through its Green List of occupations, I believe.
If you have any questions to support your potential new career path here in Oz, please let me know.
All the best
Mark
