"Teach For Australia is the best pathway that you could take out of university. You’ll grow as a person while working to combat a critical problem for this country." – Adam Ross 

 

Raise your hand and join a movement of changemakers taking real action to transform education in Australia.

Educational inequity is holding Australian students back. But a child's postcode should never determine their future.

Since 2009, Teach For Australia has helped the bold come together to make a real impact where it matters most: the classroom.

Through our 2-year Leadership Development Program you’ll teach your passion to young people in a low socio-economic community.

What makes the Leadership Development Program special?

It changes lives – and careers. Eighty-five per cent of our Alumni say they would not be in the same career position today without completing a Teach For Australia program.

It is a career-defining launchpad, equipping you with the skills to lead across education, policy, the social sector and beyond.

You’ll get a full salary and benefits, complete a Master’s degree and receive one-on-one coaching and support.  

Join a community of driven leaders who are helping to give every child a fair go. 

This is your moment to be part of something bigger.

“A big part of why I think TFA is head and shoulders above other programs is the support you get. You have three different support people who are with you for the entire two years and have nothing but your best interest at heart.”  – Eliza Kramer.
