Emergency Medicine Specialist in Northern Territory — nomination overview

Emergency Medicine Specialist (ANZSCO 253912) appears on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and is eligible for state nomination in Northern Territory under the Northern Territory Skilled Migration program. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once Northern Territory opens invitations for this occupation. The NT prioritises applicants with a genuine intention to live and work in the territory, supported by a local employer connection. Skills assessment through the Medical Board of Australia and the Australian Medical Council (AMC) is required, assessing qualifications and emergency medicine specialist training against Australian registration standards. Applicants must demonstrate English language proficiency through an approved test and satisfy health and character requirements. Two nomination pathways exist: 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 work before a Subclass 191 permanent visa application. State nomination adds five points to the applicant's points test score for Subclass 190, or fifteen points for Subclass 491. Processing in Northern Territory typically takes four to eight weeks, and visa fees are payable to the Department of Home Affairs.
