Medical Radiation Therapist — New South Wales Nomination

Medical Radiation Therapist in New South Wales — nomination overview

Medical Radiation Therapist (ANZSCO 251212) appears on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and is eligible for state nomination in New South Wales under the NSW Skilled Work from Overseas program. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once NSW opens invitations for this occupation. NSW cancer centres, radiation oncology departments, and private radiation therapy clinics have sustained demand for qualified medical radiation therapists. Professional registration is governed by the Medical Radiation Practice Board of Australia (MRPBA) through AHPRA. Overseas qualifications are assessed by AHPRA, and applicants must meet English language registration standards before obtaining general registration to practise as a medical radiation therapist 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 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 NSW typically takes four to ten weeks. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
