Caliso for Schools
Return to Work and training solutions specifically designed for schools
Caliso recognises schools are a unique environment
Teacher retention is a growing challenge in Australian schools.
Up to 50% of early career teachers consider leaving the profession within the first five years (AITSL, 2023). The reasons are clear: high workloads, emotional exhaustion, unclear communication expectations, and a lack of sustained support. Many enter the profession passionate and capable — yet quickly feel depleted, isolated, or overwhelmed by the everyday demands of school life.
Our Early Career Teacher Retention Program is a research-informed, practical training series developed by psychologists designed to equip early career teachers with the real-world skills and support they need to stay and flourish in the profession.
The workshops cover the following:
Mental Health in the Workplace
Practical Resilience Strategies
Evidence-based mentoring
Managing a professional workload
Professional Communication
Linked to professional standards: The program provides practical, evidence-based strategies that align with the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers and contribute to teacher-identified professional learning hours.
At Caliso we provide tailored services to address the specific challenges encountered by teachers and schools. We offer Return to Work Coordination services for schools consisting of:
Worksite Assessments
Ergonomic Assessments
Medical Case Conferences
Liaison with all stakeholders
