Peta’s story

Thomas and Krystal’s story

Alanna’s story

“Everyone told us how country service would be the best time of our lives. As a beginning teacher, it was a huge decision for my husband and I to transfer our three children — however we were welcomed into the school and general community with open arms.”

“Take the chance to speak with locals and immerse yourself in the community and all it has to offer. You may only have one chance to visit or see something unique and if you continue to say no and never put yourself out there, you may miss out.”

“By teaching in a rural school I feel inspired, motivated and valued on a daily basis. I believe it has made me a better teacher by being afforded opportunities and experiences that are not necessarily available in urban schools.”

Where will your adventure take you?

Here are just some of the benefits

Permanency• Permanency may be offered to suitability qualified

teachers upon appointment to rural or remote locations.

Accommodation• Subsidised housing is available in many of our rural and

remote locations across Queensland and can represent significant savings. For example, in our TR7 schools the maximum amount of rent for teacher accommodation is $60 per fortnight. Access to housing is dependent on location and subject to availability.

• Transfer and appointment expenses are covered for teachers permanently appointed to rural or remote locations.

Career advancement opportunities• Greater opportunities to take on additional

responsibilities and fast track your leadership career.

• Leadership acceleration – Rural and remote locations are a great place to position yourself as a school leader.

• Take the lead is an initiative that supports aspiring leaders in rural and remote locations.

Professional development opportunities• Remote Area Incentive Scheme (RAIS) induction

conference –

• Cultural awareness training supports understanding of Indigenous customs, language and relationships.

• Location induction helps you learn about your new environment and lifestyle.

• Beginning teacher induction and mentoring programs support graduates and teachers new to the department.

Other benefits• Additional leave provisions given as discretionary leave

entitlements (previously called RAIS emergent leave).

• Accelerated transfer points are accrued if you are a permanent teacher and teach in a rural or remote community. This will increase your chances to transfer to your next desired location.

TEACHING IN RURAL AND REMOTE QUEENSLAND

Additional benefits for teachers in Identified Indigenous communitiesIdentified Location Payments of $1,000 a year for up to five years are made to teachers appointed to schools in Identified Indigenous communities.

Compensation Benefit Flight Option is available for teachers working in specific schools located in communities where alcohol restrictions apply.
