There are a few "schools" drifting around, one of which is very elusive but also very rewarding from what I've heard. It's called the Magical Circle. It's only elusive do to a url change so a lot of old links were broken. It's also rather hard to get into the coursework.
they require high standards but have very thought out courses. It's the only true school I know of. Others are online covens or one off classes. Nothing nearly as long and in depth as what can by found at TMC. Hey also have a Facebook page thats pretty active for students.
Most people would be better suited in a coven with smaller bites of one on one lessons and mostly independent research. But for the few that can make The effort, TMC has shown results. You will learn a ton if you stay enrolled, on practically every part of magic.
There are some so-called schools of Wicca here and there on the internet. In my opinion they are not worth the time, energy, and money you would spend on them. The information they tend to teach can as easily be obtained by reading books, and with the better books you'll learn more than any on-line school can manage to do.
The best place to learn Wicca, especially if you hope that your training will lead to initiation, is through a good coven. Covens are not everywhere and working with one might require some travel on your part.
I have a long-time friend in Sydney who has an on-line site called Applegrove Coven. If you aren't in Sydney she could probably point you are some other connections around Australia. You can find the site at http://www.applegroveonline.com/ Just tell Blayze that Lark sent you to her.
Also, here is a good link to a variety of different Pagan groups around Australia. https://pagancollective.wordpress.com/menu/calendar-events-groups/australian-pagan-groups/
Many groups do not advertise openly, so there might be one near you that you don't know about. Attending open Pagan gatherings is a great way to meet people in a safe, Pagan setting and to decide whether those you meet are people you want to hang out with on a more intimate basis. Also, if you have any metaphysical shops in your area, you can talk to them about your desire to find a group. They are generally happy to help you network.
