Why Teach in Perth
Where Lifestyle Meets Opportunity:
Perth, Western Australia’s coastal capital, offers more than sunshine — it offers balance. With over 3,000 hours of sun each year, a strong education network, and a welcoming community, Perth is ideal for teachers who want both professional growth and an amazing quality of life. Whether you’re relocating from interstate or overseas, you’ll find opportunities across early childhood, primary, and secondary schools — in a city where work and life fit perfectly together.
Education Landscape in Perth
Schools and Opportunities Across Perth:
Perth’s education system includes public, Catholic, and independent schools — around 600 in total. Demand for teachers is particularly strong in the southern and southeastern suburbs, where new schools are opening to meet growing communities. In contrast, northern suburbs have fewer new developments, meaning less frequent openings but strong continuity in established schools. Pro tip: Explore Perth’s Schools Online directory (WA Department of Education) for school zones, enrolment data, and insights into where your skills are most needed.
