INFORMATION FOR PERSONS SEEKING
TEACHING POSITIONS IN INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS
IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA
The Association is not an employing agency for its member schools, nor does it have any part in the selection and appointment of teachers to positions in Independent Schools. All appointments are handled entirely by the individual School.
AISWA assists teachers seeking positions by circulating details supplied by the applicant on the AISWA form to its Member Schools. Any follow-up contact, if any, will come only from a school that has expressed an interest in assessing your details.
Some important aspects of this procedure are:
- Not all Independent Schools in Western Australia are members of AISWA.
- Independent Schools generally advertise positions in the daily State or National newspapers Applicants respond to these advertisements directly if they wish to be considered.
- The Perth daily newspaper The West Australian is the most used with some senior positions advertised in the national daily The Australian. For overseas applicants, copies of these may be available at State or Commonwealth offices in their countries.
- Overseas and Interstate applicants are advised that most appointments are made only after a personal interview with the school and that employment is restricted to those with the required immigration status. Inquiries about the latter should be directed to the nearest Australian Consulate or Embassy.
- AISWA does not require documentation other than the completed form which follows.
In accordance with its Privacy Policy, the Association will only use the information you provide for this purpose and all records will be destroyed at 31 December of the year following your application.
