I'm a Special Education teacher. If you are just now finding out that you have this disability, I presume you did not get special instruction in math when you were in school. So you don't actually know yet if you can't do math...there might be methods you haven't heard of for doing things which could allow you to improve drastically. Can you at least count reliably? Can you not recognize numerals reliably, or are your issues mostly with operations/algorithms? There's a guy with dyscalculia at the graduate school where I got my SpEd degree. His job is programming statistical software and making sure the researchers get their math right. If you can get beyond arithmetic, your disability might not actually hold you back. I don't know if this is the case in Australia, but there are always lovely call center jobs available in the US; and I can assure you those people can't do math. At least you're getting a reply when you're rejected.

I remember reading once upon a time that the most common reason people choose to major in Early Childhood Education is that it has one of the lowest math requirements. (That said, you should have a pretty good handle on concepts if not practice if you're going to actually be good at educating young children.)
