A Guide to Teaching Abroad in Australia & Oceania

Locations

No set boundaries outline the territory of Oceania, although it is commonly considered to be inclusive of the continent of Australia, along with the nearby sub-regions of Micronesia, Polynesia, and Melanesia. In total this region covers more than 3 million square miles of territory in the South Pacific, encompassing several established nations along with hundreds of smaller uninhabited islands.

Australia, the region’s largest country by a considerable margin, is usually the most popular destinations where to teach abroad in Oceania. Australia is home to a handful of the world’s most ‘livable’ cities, such as Melbourne and Adelaide, where can be great destinations to set up shop as an expat teacher. Nearby New Zealand, which is the second largest island country in Oceania, is another highly touted destination where international educators can look for work.

Amongst the smaller countries where it is possible to teach abroad in Oceania are nations such as Samoa, Micronesia, Fiji, and the Marshall Islands. All of these countries have under 1 million citizens and are only lightly industrialized, so rural placements tend to be more popular amongst them. There is a tremendous amount of cultural diversity within these smaller island nations, which can make for a very enriching experience as a teacher abroad.

Three weeks volunteering in Siem Reap

I spent three weeks volunteering at Salariin Kampuchea Learning Center in Siem Reap, where I helped teach English to younger students and supported the development of their social media presence. It was one of the most enriching experiences I’ve ever had. Some days were more challenging than others—adapting to a new environment and finding ways to communicate across cultures. But what I’ll carry with me, more than anything, is the deep sense of connection I felt with the people. I can confidently say I’ve grown and learned so much, and that’s something I’ll always be grateful for. Living and working within the local community gave me a complete perspective shift. I was struck by their warmth and generosity, and the quiet strength with which they face life. From the very beginning, I felt welcomed. The children, the staff, and my host family made me feel included from the start, making it easy to feel at home throughout my time there
