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

Early Childhood (Pre-primary School) Teacher in Victoria — 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 Victoria under the Live in Melbourne or Regional Victoria Skilled Migration program. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once Victoria opens invitations for this occupation. Victoria has strong demand for qualified early childhood teachers across metropolitan and regional settings. Skills assessment is conducted by AITSL or the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT), which evaluates overseas teaching qualifications for equivalence to Australian standards. Registration with the VIT is required to work as a teacher in Victoria, and provisional registration may be granted while applicants complete additional 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 Victoria typically takes four to ten 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.
