Nuclear Medicine Technologist in New South Wales — nomination overview
Nuclear Medicine Technologist (ANZSCO 251213) 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 public hospitals and private nuclear medicine departments have consistent demand for qualified technologists experienced in PET, SPECT, and radiopharmacy procedures. Professional registration is governed by the Medical Radiation Practice Board of Australia (MRPBA) through AHPRA. Overseas qualifications are assessed by AHPRA, and applicants must satisfy English language registration requirements before obtaining general registration. Accreditation by the Australian and New Zealand Society of Nuclear Medicine (ANZSNM) supports the professional pathway. 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.
