Special Education Teachers nec — Northern Territory Nomination

Special Education Teachers nec in Northern 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 Northern Territory under the NT Skilled Nominated Migration program. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once the NT opens invitations for this occupation. The NT has a significant shortage of specialist educators across remote and urban school settings and actively recruits internationally trained special education teachers. Skills assessment is conducted by AITSL, which evaluates overseas qualifications and specialist educational experience against the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers. Registration with the Teacher Registration Board of the Northern Territory 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 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 the NT typically takes a few weeks to two months. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
