    Each of the states or territories are very different as regards registering as a teacher.
    Within each state or territory then you have the different religious schools such as Catholic and Anglican and State schools which as far as I know are non religious. Again you would find each of these operate differently.
    I work 8.30am to 2.45pm but I can be rostered till 3.30pm to oversee buses etc. I am entitled to four days a term non contact which I use for planning/ paper work etc.
    If you have any specific questions just PM:)

    Would a three year bachelor of education degree count? That's what I have. Also, are you allowed to use textbooks or worksheets? And what are the job opportunities like in the cities at the moment? Sorry for all the questions

    Your best bet would be to check the government sites for whichever state you wish to teach in. A simple google search will bring up the relevant teacher register.
    I did the three year B.Ed too but I also had a masters so possibly that was included for registration purposes. I think (not entirely sure!) but the dip year is included in the four year rule.
    I can find out for definite later.
    Teaching wise it's very similar
