Looking for meaningful impact, career growth, and a lifestyle change? Country teaching offers all that – and more. South Australia’s public education system is built on the belief that every child deserves access to high-quality learning, no matter where they live. We’re on the lookout for passionate, qualified teachers who are ready to relocate and teach in regional communities across our beautiful state.

We’re actively seeking SECONDARY teachers, but if you’re a PRIMARY or EARLY YEARS teacher with a desire to make a difference, we want to hear from you too. We’ll work with you to find the right teaching opportunity that aligns with your experience and aspirations.

Why Choose a Country Teaching Role?
• Accelerate Your Career

Things grow faster in the country — including your career. The breadth of responsibilities and variety in your role means you’ll enjoy accelerated opportunities to evolve professionally
• Real-Life Learning and Growth

Country teaching is a way of life packed with experiential learning. Whether you’re an early-career teacher or a seasoned educator, you’ll grow every day on the job — sharpening your skills and gaining confidence in a dynamic environment.
• Financial Incentives to Help You Get Ahead

Regional roles come with a range of incentives and bonuses, including relocation support, allowances of up to $10,023 AUD per year, and subsidised housing — allowing your savings to grow while you focus on what you do best.

From fishing and bushwalking to community sports and water activities, life in the regions is active, outdoorsy, and full of fresh air. It’s the perfect place to find balance and wellbeing.
• Be Part of Something Bigger

In the country, school is the heart of the community. You’ll form strong bonds with students, families, and fellow teachers — and your contributions will be truly valued.
• Feel Connected and Supported

You won’t be on your own. Teachers in regional schools build strong networks, collaborate often, and support one another. There’s a deep sense of belonging and camaraderie.
