School Language Assistants Program in Australia
The School Language Assistants Program seeks to provide Australian schools with the opportunity to gain a linguistic and cultural resource person from overseas for up to 12 months. Australian schools invite young people, who intend to pursue a career in teaching, to assist qualified Australian teachers in contemporary linguistic and cultural classroom activities and instruction. This valuable cultural exchange opportunity is offered to host schools for only a limited financial commitment and responsibility.
What WEP does

We sponsor the assistant’s visa with the Department of Home Affairs if required
We support candidates during the visa application process, and assist them in obtaining a Working With Children Check prior to arrival
We provide preparatory material to your school and your assistant, to help you make the most of the program
We support participants and their host school for the full duration of the program
