Dental Therapist — Northern Territory Nomination

Dental Therapist in Northern Territory — nomination overview

Dental Therapist (ANZSCO 411214) is listed on the Regional Occupation List (ROL) and is eligible for state nomination in the Northern Territory under the Northern Territory Skilled Nominated program. The Northern Territory has consistent demand for dental therapists in remote community dental programs, school dental services, and public health clinics across Darwin and regional NT. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once the Northern Territory opens nominations; the Northern Territory strongly favours applicants with an intention to settle in the Territory and, where possible, a confirmed local job offer. Skills assessment is conducted by VETASSESS, covering overseas qualifications and work experience against Australian health professional standards. English language proficiency, health, and character requirements must also be satisfied. ROL listing supports the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa, requiring three years of regional residence before applying for the Subclass 191 permanent visa; the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa may also be available where the occupation appears on the Northern Territory's nomination list. 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. For advice tailored to your circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
