TRWBA/Teacher NZ IQA to Australia

I’ve been planning to migrate as a teacher in Australia but I failed to get superior points to be able to have minimum points (currently 55 points lang proficient English) for 189/190/491. Gave IELTS twice plus EOR but still failed to get 8-7-7-8 requirement for AITSL. I almost wanted to give up this OZ migration plan.

Since I already have overall band 8 score (9-9-7.5-7.5), I can do the NZ pathway then try Australia 482/AITSL using Trans-Mutual recognition instead. I have my documents ready but haven't submitted them for the NZQA assessment. Now questions:

1. What’s the hiring situation now in NZ, especially for teachers? According to a lot of posts and comments in a facebook group I joined, it’s difficult to secure a teaching job since saturated na daw po and not all schools are accredited to hire overseas. I just want to try my luck po sana whether NZ or AU.

2. In case I continue my OZ goal, how feasible it is? I know 482 is not points based so maybe this is my only chance. My qualifications is in BEED-SPED with MA in ECE but most of my experiences are in preschool. Do they have more employer sponsorship in OZ?

3. Is the minimum points for 491 visa 65? Or can it include the extra 15 points from the invitation? I haven’t researched about this.

4. Has anyone done the TRBWA exceptional circumstance directly from offshore? I was considering this instead of doing the NZ pathway however I don’t even know if it is actually feasible. I head some Filipinos had done it but tipid sila magshare ng details. I can supply most of the evidences except sa schooling na MOI is in English. Also I heard, this process might take months din.
