Yes, transgender individuals are allowed to become teachers in Australia. The Sex Discrimination Act 1984 was amended to include protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and intersex status. This means that transgender individuals have the same rights and protections as anyone else when it comes to employment, including teaching.

Additionally, schools and educational institutions are required to provide a safe and supportive environment for all students and staff, including those who identify as transgender. This includes respecting their gender identity and ensuring they are treated equitably and with dignity.
