Exercise Physiologist — Northern Territory Nomination

Exercise Physiologist in Northern Territory — nomination overview

Exercise Physiologist (ANZSCO 234915) appears on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and is eligible for state nomination in the Northern Territory under the NT Skilled Nominated Migration program. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once the Northern Territory opens invitations for this occupation. The NT actively seeks allied health professionals including exercise physiologists to address chronic disease burden in remote and regional communities. Skills assessment is conducted by Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA), which assesses qualifications and clinical competencies in exercise physiology against Australian accreditation standards. ESSA Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) status is typically required or must be achievable based on the assessment outcome. English language proficiency and health and character requirements must be satisfied. Two nomination pathways are available: the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa, granting permanent residence on grant, and the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional visa, a provisional visa requiring three years of regional residence and employment before transitioning to permanent residence via the Subclass 191 visa. State nomination adds five points for Subclass 190 or fifteen points for Subclass 491. Processing in the Northern Territory typically takes two to six weeks, and visa fees are payable to the Department of Home Affairs. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
