Teacher of the Hearing Impaired — Queensland Nomination

Teacher of the Hearing Impaired in Queensland — nomination overview

Teacher of the Hearing Impaired (ANZSCO 241512) appears on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and is eligible for state nomination in Queensland under the Queensland Skilled Migration program. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once Queensland opens invitations for this occupation. Queensland's special schools and inclusive education settings require teachers with specialist qualifications in teaching students who are deaf or have significant hearing loss. Skills assessment is conducted by AITSL or the Queensland College of Teachers (QCT), which evaluates overseas qualifications in deaf education and hearing impairment specialisation against Australian professional teaching standards. QCT registration is required before commencing employment, and provisional arrangements may be available. English language proficiency 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 Queensland typically takes a few weeks to two months, 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.
