Secondary School Teacher — Northern Territory Nomination

Secondary School Teacher in Northern Territory — nomination overview

Secondary School Teacher (ANZSCO 241411) 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 shortages of secondary school teachers, particularly in remote communities, and actively recruits qualified educators in all teaching areas. 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 NT secondary schools, and provisional or conditional registration may be available. 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.
