A telling point, I can see this becoming a very real concern in policy making going forward, likely too late to effect change however, but what is new there. - Also side note I couldn’t find the promised recipe.... :)

Currently many experienced teachers returning to Australia are forced to take job offers in cities other than Sydney, the reason cited being that of affordability of living. Even in leadership positions teachers can not afford to live in Sydney. Schools are left to employ new graduates who are still living with parents. Once these graduates gain some teaching experience and are ready to move out to move out of home they are going regional. Leaving a deficit of experienced teachers and leaders with our Sydney metro schools. The teacher shortage crisis is real and living affordability has a significant impact.
