  • Regular professional development sessions including workshops and Professional Online Discussions aligned to your career stage and connecting you with peers, mentors and more experienced teachers
  • Access to a dedicated Teachers’ Community through our Learning Portal with its comprehensive library of professional learning and development resources
  • A mentor to support you through your teacher accreditation or registration process (in states where this is mandated)
  • 50% discount off your childcare gap fees and up to 6 weeks paid parental leave
  • Fitness Passport - access to gyms and pools for you and your family at a heavily discounted price
  • Two wellbeing days included in your personal leave per year
  • Free annual flu shot (optional)
  • Option to purchase extra leave for even greater work life balance
  • First Nations Support and Cultural Leave
  • Retail discounts on insurance, travel and technology
