You need to apply for a Humanities visa for 1 year only. First time you wont get a 3 year visa. The 3 year visa is only usually offered after having a 1 year visa.

Just put in your application with the diploma and TEFL certificate and see what happens.

I've had success typically with Australians that don't have a Bachelor's degree. We just say the Diploma is equivalent to the Bachelor degree according to the Australian Qualifications Framework. So far so good.

Somewhere else in this forum I came across others also getting their visa based off a diploma and TEFL certificate.

The only way to find out is to apply and see how goes. Having a good school behind you also helps very much. You must have a school to support your application. The school will need to lodge their records too along with your visa application.
