Medical Diagnostic Radiographer — Australian Capital Territory Nomination

Medical Diagnostic Radiographer in Australian Capital Territory — nomination overview

Medical Diagnostic Radiographer (ANZSCO 251211) 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. Canberra Hospital, private hospitals, and radiology practices in the ACT require qualified diagnostic radiographers to serve the capital region. Professional registration is administered by the Medical Radiation Practice Board of Australia (MRPBA) through AHPRA. Overseas applicants must have qualifications assessed by AHPRA and satisfy English language requirements before obtaining general registration to practise in Australia. 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 ACT typically takes a few weeks to two months. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
