Our community comes first
Exit Stage Teach helps teachers across Australia explore life beyond the classroom. Our articles, teacher stories and business directory offer starting points for your own research and conversations.
How we choose directory businesses
We only work with businesses we trust and love. We review directory applications before publication and look for services relevant to teachers, clear and honest information, and a respectful approach to our community. Changes submitted by listed businesses also require review.
We may decline an application, remove a listing or cancel a directory membership if a business is unsuitable or no longer meets our standards. A listing is not a guarantee of a particular outcome: check the provider’s current services, qualifications, prices and terms before committing.
Advertising and recommendations
Our directory includes complimentary and paid listings. Paid featured placement is an advertising benefit; payment does not guarantee approval. Some articles and resource links also involve sponsorship or affiliate arrangements. Read our Financial and Affiliate Disclaimer for more information.
Questions, corrections or concerns
If you spot outdated information or have a concern about a listed business, contact Exit Stage Teach with the relevant page or business name and details. Please check current requirements with the original employer, training provider or relevant professional before making a career, financial or wellbeing decision.
