Middle School Teacher / Intermediate School Teacher — Northern Territory Nomination

Middle School Teacher / Intermediate School Teacher in Northern Territory — nomination overview

Middle School Teacher / Intermediate School Teacher (ANZSCO 241311) 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 has critical teacher shortages in middle year levels, especially in remote community schools serving indigenous students. Skills assessment is conducted by AITSL or the Teacher Registration Board of the Northern Territory (TRBNT), which assesses overseas qualifications and experience against Australian professional standards. TRBNT registration is required before commencing teaching in the NT, and provisional arrangements may be available for suitably qualified 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 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.
