For Teacher of the Sight Impaired, the assessing authority for migration purposes is AITSL.
Teacher of the Sight Impaired in Tasmania — 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 Tasmania under the Tasmanian Skilled Nominated scheme. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once Tasmania opens invitations for this occupation. Tasmania prioritises occupations with demonstrated shortages and specialists in vision impairment education are sought across both Hobart and regional campuses. Skills assessment is conducted by AITSL, assessing overseas qualifications and experience in sight impairment pedagogy, braille instruction, and assistive technology against Australian professional standards. Registration with the Teachers Registration Board of Tasmania is required before commencing employment. 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 Tasmania typically takes a few weeks to two months. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
