investigate stress levels and stressors among pre-service teachers. The differences and similarities in stress levels between male and female pre-service teachers were studied. There were five significant findings: 1) both male and female pre-service teachers had high-stress levels; 2) male pre-service teachers had higher stress levels than females; 3) male pre-service teachers' stress has a strong relationship with their ages, while it was not for female preservice teachers; 4) male pre-service teachers preferred to undertake their placement and commence their teaching career in middle or higher year level sectors, while female students preferred to teach in middle or lower year level sectors; and 5) while male and female students had similar knowledge about available support, their expectations ofsupport were different. These findings can inform future gender-appropriate support mechanisms for pre-service teachers, leading to better retention in their studies and future career.  \nIntroduction  \nThe teacher shortage has become a significant social concern. Precel (2023) reported in The Age news that schools are considering combining classes or doubling class sizes, bringing graduate teachers and placing principals in classrooms to accommodate this shortage. One of the reasons is that many teachers leave the profession early, related to personal contexts and the stresses of burnout. In addition, the shortage of male teachers has been a topic of increasing interest in education in Australia for a long time. For example, according to Harris (2023)’s report in The Sydney Morning Herald, there has been no increase in the percentage of male teachers in public school classrooms. In fact, the news in the ABC North Coast (Farrow-Smith, 2019) shows the actual percentage of male teachers in primary classrooms in 2019 was only 15%, compared to 30% in the 1980s. Such statistics raise concerns as to the decrease male teacher numbers, exposing questions relating to gender and stress levels among teachers. A body of opinion holds that the quality of a good teacher should not focus on gender, and use of gender should not be valued simply as role models (Boring, 2017; Gosse, 2011; Mengel et al., 2019), because our society is going through a period of great sensitivity towards gender diversity  \n(Healey, 2022) .  \nGender includes sociocultural attributes and related expositions commonly associated with being a man or a woman (Ritz et al., 2014).
