I am a teacher over 45 years old. Can I still apply for a permanent residency visa?

Darren Chatt MARN:0211214

“If you’re over 45 you can apply for an employer sponsored visa (subclass 482). There are no age restrictions on the 482 visa, however pathways to permanent residency are difficult.

If you’re a teacher over 45 years old, you can apply for permanent residency (PR) via the Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA). Applying under a DAMA bypasses the age restriction for PR.

Far North Queensland (FNQ) are approved under the DAMA, and teachers are on their occupation list.

If you’re over 45 and aiming for PR, it’s advisable to seek Queensland schools approved under this agreement. The school must have been operating within the Designated Area for at least 12 months prior to seeking endorsement.”

Teaching occupations included in DAMA

Teaching occupations included in the Far North Queensland Designated Area Migration Agreement:

• Early Childhood (Pre-primary School) Teacher ANZSCO 241111
• Primary School Teachers ANZSCO 241213
• Secondary School Teacher ANZSCO 241411
• Special Education Teacher ANZSCO 241599
• Special Needs Teacher ANZSCO 241511
• Teacher of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) ANZSCO 249311
• Vocational Education Teacher ANZSCO 242211

All 7 occupations have an age concession of 55 years old.

DAMA areas

The FNQ DAMA designated area comprises the Cairns, Douglas, Mareeba, Tablelands and Cassowary Coast local government areas. Also, the Cook Shire Council, Torres Shire Council, and Northern Peninsula Area Regional Council local government areas, and the Weipa Town Authority area.

The business must have been operating within the Designated Area for at least 12 months prior to seeking endorsement.

Full details of the FNQ DAMA can be found on their website. The occupation list is regularly updated.

Teaching in Australia after 45 is possible via Queensland’s DAMA

A visa to teach in Australia

To enter Australia, you will need an appropriate visa. Below, we outline the main visa types available to those wishing to live and work Down Under.

Australian Working Holiday

A popular option due to the low cost and fast processing times, the working holiday visa allows you to live and work in Australia for up to 3 years. From 19 January 2022, visa holders can work for the same employer for more than 6 months, without requesting permission.

You must be aged between 18-35 at the time of application, and be an eligible passport holder. Full details and a free visa assessment can be found on our website.

See if you qualify for a Working Holiday visa

Over the next 12 weeks, the Australian government will provide a visa fee rebate for WHM (Working Holiday Makers). WHM who travel to Australia and arrive between 19 January 2022 and 19 April 2022 will be refunded the visa fee ($495) for WHM visa application. The refund applies to both current offshore visa holders and new applicants who arrive within that period.

Skilled Migration

A skilled visa (subclass 189, 190 and 491) is suitable for those wanting to live in Australia permanently. This visa takes around 12 months to process, considering the different processes involved, and will cost around £3000. Depending on the subclass applied for, you will become a permanent resident of Australia or have a viable pathway to do so. You must be under the age of 45 at the time of invitation to apply for a skilled visa. You do not require an Australian job offer for this visa type.

Seek advice from a migration agent via our free skilled visa assessment.

Employer Sponsorship

Some Australian employers may be willing to offer you a job and sponsorship. An employer sponsored visa allows you to temporarily live in Australia whilst working for your nominated employer. You must first find an employer to sponsor you before applying for the visa.

Contact our partners ANZUK Education to source Australian teaching opportunities

Additional pathways could include a partner visa or student visa. You can learn more about these options on our website. For most Australian visas, applicants must not have any substantial medical or criminal issues.

The Government recently announced a temporary relaxation of working hours for student visas. This allows students to work more than 20 hours per week.

Teaching opportunities in Australia

Once your visa is granted you can turn your attention to securing a teaching job. If you are on a working holiday visa throughout 2022, you will have the usual option of doing casual relief teaching (supply/subbing/temp) or looking into securing a contract role.  

Contact our partners ANZUK Education to source Australian teaching opportunities

For those on long term visas, the options are open. It can be a great idea to try some early childhood services or schools out first through casual work. However you may prefer to get straight into a role and have full ownership over the class/es you teach. The teaching opportunities in Australia are plentiful, and seeking advice from a recruiter such as ANZUK Education can be helpful.

“Over the past couple of years we have seen an increased demand for teaching professionals in Australia. This includes casual teachers and teachers in contract and ongoing roles across Australia. We work with early childhood services and schools throughout the East Coast of Australia in metropolitan and regional areas.
