Nuclear Medicine Technologist × Subclass 190 — pathway overview
Nuclear Medicine Technologist (ANZSCO 251213) is eligible for the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa, a permanent points-tested pathway requiring nomination by an Australian state or territory government. This occupation appears on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and Consolidated Sponsored Occupation List (CSOL), and state governments actively seek skilled Nuclear Medicine Technologists to address workforce gaps across their economies. Applicants must lodge an Expression of Interest through SkillSelect and apply for state or territory nomination separately. Each jurisdiction sets its own nomination criteria, which may include current employment in the occupation within that state, a genuine intention to live and work there, or experience in a regional or rural setting. A successful state nomination adds five points to the applicant's score and is a competitive, quota-limited process managed independently of the federal Department of Home Affairs. A positive skills assessment from Australian and New Zealand Society of Nuclear Medicine (ANZSNM) is mandatory prior to lodging an Expression of Interest. Applicants must hold at least 65 points including the five nomination points, be under 45 years of age unless exempt, meet English language requirements, and satisfy health and character standards. Application fees start from approximately 4,640 dollars. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
