How Indonesian Teachers Can Migrate to Australia and Work

To migrate and get permanent residency in Australia, there are several pathways you can take. Apart from study, the most famous way is through the work pathway.

Currently, Australia needs a large number of workers in some sectors such as health, education, construction and engineering. As a teacher, you must have experience and skills in that field. Therefore, this is your chance to get a skilled worker visa.

Skilled worker visa is intended for skilled working professionals who wish to move to Australia without being sponsored by an employer, the Australian government or a family member living there. If your experience matches Australia's list of jobs and skills requirements, you are eligible to apply for a skilled worker visa.

Meanwhile, to find out whether you meet the job requirements or not, the Australian government uses a skills points system. You must at least collect a score of 60 or more to get a skilled worker visa.

Besides job skills, you must be under 50 years old and fluent in English to migrate and work in Australia. For more details, here are the required documents to apply for a skilled worker visa.

1. Birth certificate, to show that you are under 50 years old.

2. Certificates or copies of your qualifications, for example bachelor’s degree or any qualifications for your skills.

3. Proof of work experience.

4. Proof of English proficiency, because English is not Indonesian first language, you must get a score of at least 6 on the IELTS speaking, reading, listening and writing tests.

5. Recent CV.

6. Employment references, someone who will confirm that you have worked for a company and have developed expertise in a particular area.

7. Police check certificate.

8. Visa application form.

9. Visa payment proof.
