Daily, long term and permanent staff placement across all curriculum areas, year levels and childcare centres.

The Teaching Initiative is a boutique agency, who places outstanding Educators & Teachers in dynamic Schools & Early Learning Centres.

With over 20 years teaching experience, leadership & masters degrees among the managing staff there is no question that goes unanswered. We’ve walked the walk, so we can talk the talk.

We specialise in daily, long term & permanent staff placement across all curriculum areas, year levels & childcare centres.

We offer Victoria’s highest daily rates and a level of care that sets us apart. Our strength lies in the genuine, lasting relationships we build with our educators—because great service starts with a valued team.
