Yes! Australia suffers from the greatest shortage of teachers in areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics—with maths and physics the most in-demand teaching subjects in schools. If you are qualified to teach a humanities subject, there is less demand. If you have humanities learning areas, we strongly recommend you speak to our Recruitment team about your regional flexibility and potentially upskilling (which is easier than you think!).

We currently only place our Associates in secondary schools.

Learning areas are the subject areas you are eligible to teach in based on your prior academic study.

Find out more about learning area requirements here.

We place Associates exclusively in schools serving low socioeconomic communities, working in the regions and communities that need the most support. We currently operate in Victoria, Western Australia, Tasmania, the Northern Territory, South Australia, and NSW. If you receive an offer to join the program, you will be invited to share your location preferences with us – but the more flexible you are, the more likely we will be able to successfully find a placement.

Applications for Cohort 2023 are now closed. To keep up to date about future offerings of the Future Leaders Program register your interest here.
