Floor Finisher — Northern Territory Nomination

Floor Finisher in Northern Territory — nomination overview

Floor Finisher (ANZSCO 332111) appears on the Regional Occupation List (ROL) and is eligible for state nomination in the Northern Territory under the Northern Territory Skilled Nominated program. The NT employs floor finishers across commercial buildings, government facilities, and residential projects across Darwin, Alice Springs, and regional Northern Territory. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once the NT opens nominations for this occupation; the NT applies competitive criteria including points score, English proficiency, and demonstrated trade experience. Skills assessment is conducted by Trades Recognition Australia (TRA), which evaluates overseas qualifications, training, and hands-on trade experience against Australian standards. English language proficiency, health, and character requirements must all be satisfied. The only nomination pathway is the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa, a provisional visa requiring three years of regional residence and employment at or above the income threshold before the holder can apply for the Subclass 191 permanent residence visa. Subclass 190 nomination is not available for ROL-only occupations. A successful nomination adds fifteen points to the applicant's SkillSelect points score. Government fees apply at nomination and visa stages, with processing in the NT typically taking a few weeks to two months. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
