‘I know where I’m moving’: UK teachers shocked by Aussie teacher’s starting salary

Getahead is an app that matches workers with employers like Tinder but for your career. Part of the company’s shtick has become hitting the streets of Australia and asking people about their salaries.

According to job search platform SEEK, the average wage for a teacher in Australia ranges from $95,000 to $105,000.

A young woman was stopped in Brisbane and revealed that she was a primary school teacher earning $84,000.

“I’m an early careers teacher, so I just started this year, so I’m on the beginning salary,” she explained.

She added that teaching is “exhausting,” but she said that she has a really great class and enjoys her work.
