Australian Teacher Workforce Survey
Coming soon!

Why should I do the survey?

Each year we ask registered teachers and leaders across schools and early childhood settings to share their experiences and challenges of working in the profession through the Australian Teacher Workforce Survey. The more teachers we hear from, the richer our understanding of the current teaching experience.

Fill in the survey and tell us about:

  • your wellbeing and job demands ​
  • your hours – the time you spend teaching and preparing to teach​
  • your career intentions – whether you plan to stay in the profession ​
  • your workforce arrangements – including your contractual arrangements and working hours.
