Why raise your hand?
Join the movement
Educational inequity is holding Australian students back. And change doesn’t happen by hoping someone else will fix it. It happens when people with courage, conviction, and compassion step forward.
Since 2009, Teach For Australia have helped the bold come together — not just to learn, but to take action.
Our Leadership Development Program is a community of driven leaders who believe every student deserves the chance to thrive. A movement built on shared purpose, shared impact and a shared commitment to equity.
This is your moment to be part of something bigger.

"It dawned on me how important [my] education experience was and how I wanted to return that experience back into regional Australia.
Then I had the great opportunity to make that happen with Teach For Australia at Katherine High - to be that really inspiring teacher for our young people.
I took that opportunity on and haven't looked back since."

Why Teach For Australia?
Where a child grows up in Australia directly impacts their access to opportunity. Educational disadvantage isn’t abstract. It’s structural, persistent, and visible in classrooms every day.
Teach For Australia exists to confront that reality directly, by developing leaders who are willing to advocate and innovate from inside the system. Because strong educational outcomes create a better, healthier and more inclusive society for all of us.
