Early childhood teaching: make a difference

WHAT IS 'THREE-YEAR-OLD KINDER. Best Start. Best Life.'?

EVERY CHILD DESERVES THE OPPORTUNITY TO REACH THEIR POTENTIAL.

The Victorian Government has committed almost $5 billion over 10 years so that three-year-old children across the state will have access to a funded kindergarten program. This means three-year-old children across the state will benefit from two years of funded kindergarten, and more teachers and educators are needed to give Victorian children the best start in life.

This will create over 6,000 new teaching jobs across the state.

WHAT DOES IT OFFER EARLY CHILDHOOD PROFESSIONALS LIKE YOU?

We are working with the Department of Education (the department) to support qualified early childhood teachers and educators to find positions in priority Victorian services delivering kindergarten programs. 

Candidates who take up teacher and educator positions could also be eligible for financial incentives from the department of between $9,000 and $50,000. There are two types of incentives available (individual incentives and location incentives) and they have slightly different eligibility requirements. If you receive an incentive, you may also be able to access a relocation support payment of up to $8,000. 

There is also support for teachers returning to work, including professional development, and mentoring. If you need to relocate for your new role, you can also access financial support for relocation costs.

You will also enjoy all the benefits of an affordable, regional Victorian lifestyle.
