Hi,

My wife is a secondary school teacher, and I was wondering if anyone could advise what the pay scale is for high school teachers. My wife is a maths teacher and has been teaching for four years. We want to move to Melbourne, so if anyone has a pay scale for Victoria, that would be really useful.

Thanks for your help.
Charlie.
