Special Education Teachers nec — Australian Capital Territory Nomination

Special Education Teachers nec in Australian Capital Territory — nomination overview

Special Education Teachers nec (ANZSCO 241599) appears on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and is eligible for state nomination in the Australian Capital Territory under the ACT Critical Skills Nomination program. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once the ACT opens invitations for this occupation. The ACT prioritises specialist educators for its public school system, and teachers trained in diverse disability and developmental needs outside specific classifications are welcomed. Skills assessment is conducted by AITSL, assessing overseas qualifications and specialist teaching experience against Australian professional standards. Registration with the ACT Teacher Quality Institute 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 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 the ACT typically takes a few weeks to two months. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
