Teacher of the Hearing Impaired — South Australia Nomination

Teacher of the Hearing Impaired in South Australia — 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 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 operates specialised hearing impairment programs within its education system and has demand for qualified teachers with specialist skills in deaf and hard-of-hearing pedagogy. Skills assessment is conducted by AITSL or the Teachers Registration Board of South Australia (TRBSA), which evaluates overseas qualifications in hearing impairment education against Australian professional teaching standards. TRBSA registration is required before commencing employment, and provisional registration 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 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.
