Opportunities for Special Education Teachers

Teacher (School Education Act General Agreement)

Teacher, $85,610 - $124,016 per annum (SEA GA 2023)

Western Australia is a great place to live and teach. Our public schools are located across the state, offering opportunities to work in diverse and incredible locations.

Our purpose is clear: every student, every classroom, every day.

Come and join us.

The Department of Education is seeking applications for Special Education teachers to fill vacancies across Western Australia, including a full-time contract in the Goldfields DAMA region.

Benefits of teaching in Western Australian public schools include:

  • over 20 days of additional leave, including sick and carers' leave
  • subsidised accommodation where applicable
  • free relocation for permanent or one-year contracts

An individual merit assessment will be conducted for each position.

Why work in regional areas?

Western Australia offers diverse landscapes—from beaches and vineyards to forests and the outback. Teachers in regional areas often experience strong community ties, career growth, and meaningful relationships with students and families.

Culturally responsive practices are essential, especially when working with Aboriginal students and communities.

Students in rural communities are friendly and active, creating vibrant classroom environments. Strong relationships and community involvement enhance job satisfaction for teachers.

Financial incentives vary by location; use our benefits calculator for details.
