A warm community and premier learning environment, Australian International School Hong Kong (AISHK) is a non-profit, co-educational day school for students from Reception (age four) to Year 12. Founded in 1995, AISHK currently welcomes more than 1,100 students from a variety of cultural backgrounds.
Operating on an Australian school year (late January to mid-December), AISHK is the only school in Hong Kong to utilise the Australian curriculum. AISHK provides broad yet tailored educational pathways by offering senior secondary students the option to undertake either the New South Wales Higher School Certificate (NSW HSC) or the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IBDP). This creates a seamless transition for our students to all universities and tertiary institutions in Australia and around the world.
Wellbeing is the foundation of AISHK school culture and all staff should maintain relationships with the community which reflect this culture. Staff need to be committed to diversity and inclusive educational practices, demonstrate skills in teaching practices that represent multiple perspectives and dedicated to working in a diverse community.
Benefits
Moving Allowance
Benefits are available to staff relocating to Hong Kong - relocation costs of up to HK$25,000 (single person), HK$30,000 (couple), HK$40,000 (spouse and dependent child/children) are offered.

Staff can also apply to receive an advance on their salary up to a maximum amount of HK$80,000.
Dependent Opportunities
Full-time teachers are encouraged to send their children to AISHK for schooling. Tuition fees will be discounted according to the following schedule: 65% for the first child, 75% for the second and subsequent children. Costs of excursions, texts and materials will remain payable. The debenture fees will be waived. This benefit is limited to teachers who do not receive educational allowances from other sources.
Medical
Staff may choose to participate in the medical insurance scheme provided by the school. The Medical Insurance Scheme has a plan for primary care (outpatient service) and four plans for secondary care (in-patient hospital and surgical benefit) cover and an optional add-on plan for dental insurance cover for staff to choose from.
Dependents are able to be included in the medical/dental schemes at the staff member's own cost. Please contact the Director of Human Resources for further information.
Number of Contract Days
Normally contracts will commence in January of a new school year to coincide with Australian school year timing of January to December. The initial contract period for this position is expected to be for the period 28 July 2025 to 31 December 2026. Thereafter an employment contract may be renewed by agreement for successive periods of two years.
Starting Salary Range
Based on qualifications and experience, our annual compensation for teachers ranges from HK$124,056 to HK$1,024,088.
A gratuity sum equivalent to 21% of the gross salary is paid at the end of each fixed-term contract, ranging from HK$124,056 to HK$215,059 per annum. Teachers taking on positions of leadership are eligible for an additional monetary allowance and/or allocated time release, depending on the responsibilities being undertaken.
Taxes
Hong Kong income tax is not deducted at source and is payable once a year. The standard rate of tax is approximately 15%. Allowances for single parents, married couples and the number of dependent children reduce taxable salary.
Savings Potential
School and staff members are required to make a monthly contribution to a scheme registered under the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance for the term of the contract at the statutory contribution rate (i.e. 5% of the Employee’s monthly relevant income or $1,500, whichever is the less) if they are not members of a retirement scheme outside of Hong Kong. Staff may choose to contribute voluntarily funds in addition to the mandatory contributions.
Accommodation
Accommodation is not provided but in accordance with the “Conditions of Service for Teachers” the School reserves the right to restructure salary awards in order to minimise the liability of staff to pay tax.
