Medical Radiation Therapist — Queensland Nomination

Medical Radiation Therapist in Queensland — 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 Queensland under the Queensland Skilled Migration program. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once Queensland opens invitations for this occupation. Queensland's radiation oncology facilities at tertiary hospitals and cancer care networks across Brisbane and regional Queensland have ongoing vacancies for qualified medical radiation therapists. Professional registration is governed by the Medical Radiation Practice Board of Australia (MRPBA) through AHPRA. Overseas qualifications must be assessed and English language registration standards met before AHPRA grants general registration. Registration is mandatory before commencing radiation therapy employment in any Australian state. 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 Queensland typically takes a few weeks to two months. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
