Teacher of the Sight Impaired in South Australia — 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 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 accepts offshore and onshore candidates and may prioritise applicants with a local job offer or South Australian study history. Skills assessment is conducted by AITSL, which evaluates overseas qualifications and professional experience in vision impairment teaching against the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers. Teacher registration with the Teachers Registration Board of South Australia is required. 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 South Australia typically takes a few weeks to two months. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
