Freelance Australian Instructor

Hi,
I'm just about to commence training for my Instructor's rating and was wondering if there is a market for freelance instructors.

All of my training has been with instructors employed or contracted to a school, but I know in the US this is not necessarily the approach.

I'm assuming I would have to operate under someone's AOC and that would be the deciding factor (i.e. you are then tied to that school as other schools would not take the liability or responsibility).

And without my own aircraft I'd have to hire through a school which would make the lesson more expensive.

Just a thought, but would love to hear from any independent instructors.
