Roof Tiler in Northern Territory — nomination overview
Roof Tiler (ANZSCO 333311) is listed on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) and is eligible for state nomination in the Northern Territory under the Northern Territory Skilled Nominated program. The NT employs roof tilers across residential housing, government facilities, and commercial buildings 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. Two nomination pathways are available: the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa, granting permanent residence upon grant, and the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa, a provisional visa requiring three years of regional residence and employment before the holder can apply for the Subclass 191 permanent visa. Nomination adds five points for Subclass 190 or fifteen points for Subclass 491. 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.
