New name, same service! Teacher Relief Services has merged and is now operating as Free Agency!
As seen on the Foxtel TV show Industry Leaders!
Teacher Relief Services
Teacher Relief Services was established to create a point of access for both primary schools looking for staff and casual replacement teachers and support staff looking for work. It is a simple concept – a central agency organizing relief staff.
Since 1994 Teacher Relief Services has built an excellent reputation for not just finding replacement teachers, but matching appropriate teachers to vacant positions in schools.
Free Agency
Free Agency is a leading Education Recruitment Agency in Melbourne, founded and managed by teachers since 2014. We pride ourselves on supplying quality teachers to schools in a hassle free, personable and reliable manner.
Through our combined experience we identified the need to offer an easy, user-friendly casual relief employment service. Therefore, in 2021 Free Agency and Teacher Relief Services merged to become to the one Free Agency. Nicky and Tess are organising Peninsula/Cranbourne placements and James, Tim, Gen and Sarah are organising Bayside/Metropolitan Melbourne placements.
