Default Help needed ... newly qualified teacher wanting to emigrate

Hi everyone,
My husband and I have finally decided to take the plunge and look into emigrating to Australia. I have hit a few stumbling blocks and need some advice.
I am a newly qualified further education teacher in sport science having completed a PGDE. My qualification allows me to teach the age range 14 -19 and adult learners. I was just wondering if anybody else has had this qualification assessed by the Australian Institute of Teaching . The problem I am having is that I have not had any experience other than teaching practice and am struggling to find a job in the Uk to gain anymore experience. I was also wondering if I could actually teach secondary as that is from age 13 - 18.
Previous to this I was a gymnastics coach for 6 years but did not coach for 2 years to complete my studies and as I had a baby therefore the work experience is going against me. An agent who I spoke to briefly mentioned whether my coaching qualifications meet AQF Certificate III including at least two years of on-the-job training, or AQF certificate IV (ANZSCO Skill Level 3). I have a level 3 coaching qualification on the UK coaching framework. Has anybody else had any sport coaching qualifications accredited ... I was wondering if it was worth having my teaching and coaching qualifications assessed and accredited with the relevant organisations ?
Im getting bogged down with info any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks donna

You wont pass a skills assessment for a teacher or be able to register as a teacher with only the 14-19 PGDE. You would have to complete more modules to allow you to teach from age 11! Assessment for Migration | AITSL

You'll also need work experience as a teacher to qualify for a visa.
