Ambulance Officer — Australian Capital Territory Nomination

Ambulance Officer in Australian Capital Territory — nomination overview

Ambulance Officer (ANZSCO 411111) is listed on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) and is eligible for state nomination in the Australian Capital Territory under the ACT Skilled Nominated program. The Australian Capital Territory has consistent demand for ambulance officers in emergency medical services across Canberra and surrounding ACT communities. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once the Australian Capital Territory opens nominations; the ACT prioritises applicants who intend to settle in Canberra, with competitive assessment based on points score and English proficiency. Skills assessment is conducted by VETASSESS, covering overseas qualifications and work experience against Australian allied health standards. English language proficiency, health, and character requirements must also be satisfied. STSOL listing supports the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa (permanent on grant) and the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa requiring three years of regional residence before applying for the Subclass 191 permanent visa. State nomination adds five points for Subclass 190 or fifteen points for Subclass 491 to the applicant's SkillSelect score. Government fees apply at nomination and visa stages; processing in the Australian Capital Territory typically takes a few weeks to two months. For advice tailored to your circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
