Teacher of the Sight Impaired — Queensland Nomination

Teacher of the Sight Impaired in Queensland — nomination overview

Teacher of the Sight Impaired (ANZSCO 241513) 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 may prioritise applicants with a local job offer or prior study or employment history in the state. Skills assessment is conducted by AITSL, the body responsible for assessing overseas teaching qualifications against Australian Professional Standards for Teachers, with a focus on specialist vision impairment pedagogy, orientation and mobility, braille instruction, and assistive technology. Teacher registration in Queensland is administered by the Queensland College of Teachers and is required before commencing work. 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 the applicant can apply for the Subclass 191 permanent 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. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
