Medical Radiation Therapist — Western Australia Nomination

Medical Radiation Therapist in Western Australia — 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 Western Australia under the Western Australian Skilled Migration program. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once Western Australia opens invitations for this occupation. WA cancer and radiation oncology services, including Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital and private cancer centres, have sustained demand for skilled radiation therapists. Professional registration is administered by the Medical Radiation Practice Board of Australia (MRPBA) through AHPRA. Overseas applicants must have qualifications assessed and meet AHPRA English language requirements before obtaining general registration to practise in Western 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 Western Australia typically takes one to three months. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
