​​​​​​​​​​​Join our passionate and committed education teams supporting students in identified Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Working in these schools offers a challenging and incredibly rewarding experience and the opportunity to learn with and from your students, colleagues and community.

Take your teaching to a new community

For teachers seeking to make an impact within and beyond the classroom, teaching and living in one of our many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across Queensland will provide you with many unique and rewarding opportunities. 

Teachers and school leaders who demonstrate the expertise, enthusiasm and capacity to teach in these complex communities are highly regarded. An ability to develop strong and productive partnerships with students, families and the broader school community, a high-expectation, reflective and professional mindset and a capacity to accept and respond to school community protocols, are essential to a positive experience in these communities.
