Melbourne is one of Australia’s largest cultural, business, recreational and sporting cities, and is recognised as one of the most liveable cities in the world. Combine this with the chance to gain new skills and grow your teaching career, and it’s no surprise that so many teachers are relocating from New Zealand to experience this fantastic city. But what is the day-to-day reality of living and teaching in Melbourne really like, and what’s involved in making the move?

During the conversation, they discussed the key things you need to know about moving countries and teaching in a different system, as well as provided practical insights and tips for Kiwi teachers considering the leap across the ditch.
