Australia

You will need both of these in order to get paid in Australia. You can apply for both online, the bank account via the banks’ website and the tax file number via the ATO’s website.

Once you have applied for a Master’s Degree degree via the GIS website, please email study@gis.sport with your CV/resume and let us know that you are interested in the coaching opportunities with The AllStars Academy. We will then put you in touch with the TAA team for you to apply for a coaching placement. We will also put you in touch with our other partners where appropriate.

Once you have secured a placement, you will need to apply for your visa if you don’t already have the right to work in Australia. We recommend you check your eligibility first via the Australian government website. You can do so and apply for your visa here.

The process is as follows:

• Apply for a Master’s degree via the GIS website
• Email study@gis.sport with your CV and let us know that you are interested in a TAA coaching role
• Interview with TAA
• Apply for your Australian visa via the Australian government website

In total, this process should take no longer than one month.

These include holding a passport from an eligible country including the UK, having approximately $5,000 in your bank account to prove that you can support yourself, and 18-30 years old (18-35 years for some countries).
