Early Childhood (Pre-primary School) Teacher — Queensland Nomination

Early Childhood (Pre-primary School) Teacher in Queensland — nomination overview

Early Childhood (Pre-primary School) Teacher (ANZSCO 241111) appears on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and is eligible for state nomination in Queensland under the Queensland Skilled Migration program. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once Queensland opens invitations for this occupation. Queensland's childcare sector expansion and universal access kindergarten programs drive strong demand for early childhood teachers. Skills assessment is conducted by AITSL or the Queensland College of Teachers (QCT), which assesses overseas teaching qualifications against Australian professional standards. Registration with the QCT is mandatory to teach in Queensland, and applicants must satisfy both academic and professional practice requirements. English language proficiency must be demonstrated through an approved test, and health and character requirements apply. 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 Queensland typically takes a few weeks to two months, 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.
