The service is made up of 37 schools in remote Aboriginal communities and small towns across the Kimberley, Pilbara, Goldfields, and Midwest regions.
Teaching in a remote school isn't just a job – it's an adventure filled with professional growth and personal fulfillment.
Teachers who excel in the service are flexible and value teamwork, cultural awareness and community engagement. If you relish a challenge and the chance to make a real difference, you’ll fit right in. Whether you excel in literacy, numeracy or supporting students learning English as an additional language or dialect (EALD), your skills and dedication will be highly valued.
We know teaching in remote areas comes with unique challenges. That’s why we offer a range of additional allowances and benefits to support our teachers. You receive free housing and access to more financial incentives and specialised leave options. To find out what applies to each of our schools, use the rural, regional and remote benefits calculator1.
If you dream of long weekends exploring the outback, make that a reality with our Remote Teaching Service leave. After 3 years of service, you'll enjoy an extra 10 weeks of paid leave each year. After 4 years, you receive 22 weeks (this includes the 10 weeks entitlement after 3 years). This is on top of all other leave entitlements.
You may be eligible to apply for the Commonwealth Government’s Remission of HELP debts for teachers in very remote areas initiative2.
You’re also eligible for permanency after just 2 years of satisfactory service. Plus, upon completing your 3-year contract, our dedicated case managers will help you secure a position in a location of your choice.
