Skills assessment is conducted by AITSL, which evaluates overseas qualifications and specialist teaching experience against Australian professional standards. Registration with the Teachers Registration Board of Western Australia 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 Western Australia typically takes one to three months.
