Frequently Asked Questions

Joining StaffView and creating your profile is completely free. To keep the platform sustainable and valuable for both teachers and schools, we charge a $3.95 fee to educators only when they are successfully booked for a job.

As a relief teacher myself, I understand budget concerns. This pay-per-use model allows schools to use the platform for free, encouraging more sites to join and increasing job opportunities for educators.

The $3.95 fee is about 1% of a first-year teacher's daily pay and applies equally to all bookings, no matter the pay rate or job length. Each fee helps sustain and improve the platform, ensuring better matches and a thriving community for all relief staff.

Your investment supports a service that values your voice, provides greater job access, and works toward positive change for Adelaide's relief teachers.

Once your profile is complete, you'll automatically see job postings that match your criteria. You can edit your profile anytime in settings to update your preferences.

• Location Radius: Choose a range between 10-100 km.

• Availability: Select Last-Minute (Emergency) or Future (Long-Term) Bookings.

• Year Levels: Choose from Early Learning (Childcare/Preschool), Primary (Junior, Middle, Upper, Specialist, or Various Release), or High School.

• Subjects: Highlight subjects you’re confident teaching—Math, Science, Languages, Health & PE, The Arts, Design & Tech, HASS, and more.

• Support Staff: Specific options for classroom support roles are available.

Take control of your relief teaching schedule—no need to update your availability regularly. Apply for positions when it suits you, whether on the day or the week itself. If you're unavailable, simply don't log in—no requests, no stress. Enjoy the freedom to work around your life, guilt-free.

This is beneficial for the schools and centres, in that StaffView is eliminating the need for schools to manually sift through availability updates. Our system enables schools to plan ahead with more certainty. Instead of waiting for last-minute confirmations from staff that appear available yet do not respond, you simply see who has applied.

Your feedback is key to StaffView's future. Share your thoughts via email or mobile. Our mission is to improve staffing and empower relief staff to feel in control and valued for their unique experience.

At StaffView, we value your downtime and aim to minimize unnecessary interruptions.

Since August 2024, we've added email notifications alongside the dashboard bell. Sites receive emails about new applicants or withdrawals, while teachers are notified if they’re booked, unsuccessful, or if a job is canceled. We're committed to improving our notification system based on your feedback to keep you informed without disrupting your time.

StaffView's user-friendly platform lets schools and centres select from three educational stages—Early Years, Primary, or High School—when posting jobs. They must also refine the category (Junior, Middle, or Upper Primary) to match applicants’ expertise.

You’ll only see jobs that fit your profile, allowing you to apply confidently without rushing. Schools can add extra details through two open textboxes.

Once a job has applicants, it cannot be edited. Schools must cancel and repost or inform the successful applicant of changes, ensuring clear expectations. For flexibility, sites can select 'various release' and multiple year levels to match applicants comfortable across different stages.

Relief staff can easily access site contact numbers on job postings, enabling quick communication for inquiries, clarifications, or updates.

This direct access helps ensure smooth coordination and reduces delays.

For schools and centres, providing a relief teacher coordinator's contact number streamlines communication, fosters stronger connections with relief staff, and supports efficient scheduling.

This approach enhances collaboration and contributes to a positive and well-organized teaching experience.

Schools and centres can view a complete list of teachers who have worked at their site, including their qualifications and experience, under ‘My Teachers’ on the Dashboard. This list grows as staff work at the site, creating a unique collection of familiar educators.

Schools can also add teachers to their 'Favourites' list, highlighting those who have received positive feedback. This list helps identify preferred staff but does not give exclusive access to shift requests.

All qualified teachers can apply for shifts, ensuring a fair and transparent process while allowing schools to recognize and rebook well-received staff.
