Primary School Teacher — South Australia Nomination

Primary School Teacher in South Australia — nomination overview

Primary School Teacher (ANZSCO 241213) appears on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and is eligible for state nomination in South Australia under the South Australian Skilled Migration program. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once South Australia opens invitations for this occupation. South Australia's education system across government and Catholic sectors has demand for primary school teachers, especially in regional areas. Skills assessment is conducted by AITSL or the Teachers Registration Board of South Australia (TRBSA), which assesses overseas qualifications and professional experience against the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers. TRBSA registration is required before teaching in SA schools, and provisional registration may be granted to eligible overseas applicants. 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 South Australia 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.
