Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once Queensland opens invitations for this occupation.

QCT registration is required before commencing teaching in Queensland, and provisional registration may be available to eligible overseas applicants while formal assessment is completed. 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 Queensland typically takes a few weeks to two months, and visa fees are payable to the Department of Home Affairs.
