Teacher of the Hearing Impaired — Victoria Nomination

Teacher of the Hearing Impaired in Victoria — 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 Victoria under the Live in Melbourne or Regional Victoria Skilled Migration program. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once Victoria opens invitations for this occupation. Victoria has dedicated schools for the deaf and hearing impaired as well as mainstream integration programs requiring specialist teachers trained in auditory-verbal, sign language, and other hearing-impaired pedagogies. Skills assessment is conducted by AITSL or the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT), which evaluates overseas qualifications in deaf education and hearing impairment pedagogy against Australian professional standards. VIT registration is required before teaching in Victorian schools. 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 Victoria 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.
