Australian Visa Options For Teachers

In this article, part of our series which examines the Australian visa options that are available for selected occupations, we take a look at teachers, including childhood, primary school, middle school, secondary school, private, special education, teachers of English to speakers of other languages, vocational education and university lecturers. We examine how each teaching occupation is classified and defined in Australia for migration purposes and the potential options for a skilled visa for teacher migration to Australia, including permanent residency pathways for these occupations. This includes employer sponsored options which require you to be sponsored for a teacher visa Australia, as well as pathways for primary school teacher immigration to Australia PR visa.

Selected teaching occupations are eligible for a Subclass 189, 190 or 491 General Skilled Migration (GSM) visa, which require PR points for teachers in Australia to qualify.

And so if you have such questions as ‘can a primary teacher get PR in Australia?’ or ‘can I move to Australia as a primary teacher?,’ keep reading! We will answer these questions, and more. In addition to primary school teachers, we will also cover early childhood, middle school, secondary school, private, special education, teachers of English to speakers of other languages, vocational education and university lecturers.

Before we discuss the potential options for teacher immigration Australia, let us first introduce you to some of the key elements that must be considered when assessing your eligibility for a skilled teacher visa Australia.

Important Factors To Consider When Applying For A Teacher Visa Australia

Skilled Occupation List

A key component in determining your eligibility for a skilled visa to Australia is based on whether your occupation is included on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL) for the relevant skilled visa being considered. It is important to be aware that each skilled visa subclass is subject to a specified SOL, which is designed to respond to skill shortages in various industries and regions across Australia. As labour markets change, so too do the relevant SOLs to reflect pertaining market conditions. It is therefore vital if you are seeking to apply for a teacher visa Australia, that you apply the correct and most up-to-date SOL in assessing your eligibility for teacher migration to Australia.

Targeted Approach

Certain skilled visa options go one step further by targeting skills shortages in certain geographical areas (including in regional Australia). Employers can also sponsor or nominate suitably skilled applicants to fill vacancies in individual businesses, thereby addressing an employer-specific need. An example of this is an employer sponsored Subclass 482 Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa for teacher migration to Australia.

There are several skilled visa options available for teacher immigration Australia, with each one designed to meet a specific purpose. These comprise a state sponsored, regional employer sponsored, regional state sponsored, regional family sponsored, employer sponsored and nominated skilled visa as well as a training and temporary graduate skilled visa.

A Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa is an example of a regional state or family sponsored teacher visa Australia.

A regional employer sponsored visa for teacher migration to Australia is a Subclass 494 Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) (SESR) visa.

And a permanent residence employer nominated teacher visa Australia is the Subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) visa.

Each skilled visa subclass is subject to a prescribed set of visa lodgement and grant requirements, a key part of which is the relevant SOL which prescribes the selected skilled occupations which may be nominated for that visa subclass.

Nominating A Teacher On The Skilled Occupation List

Different SOLs apply to each skilled visa subclass. For example, the Subclass 482 Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa, which is a temporary employer sponsored visa, is subject to a Short‑term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL), a Medium and Long‑term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and a Regional Occupation List (ROL). The skilled occupation list that applies to an occupation determines whether it may be nominated under the short-term or medium-term stream of the subclass 482 visa program.

If the occupation is included on the STSOL, it may be nominated under the short-term stream. If the occupation is included on either the MLTSSL or the ROL, it may be nominated under the medium-term stream. There is also a labour agreement stream which applies where the sponsoring employer has a labour agreement in place, and that agreement specifies the occupation/s that may be nominated for a TSS visa.

All TSS visa holders are eligible for permanent residency after two years via an ENS visa under the Temporary Residence Transition (TRT) stream.

Certain occupations that may be nominated for a TSS visa are also subject to a caveat. This means if specified circumstances are present in regards to the position that the employer is seeking to fill, then the occupation is not eligible for nomination. To illustrate, the occupation of Vocational Education Teacher is included on the ROL for the subclass 482 visa, and so may be nominated for a TSS visa (under the medium-term stream) provided it meets the caveat (or condition) that the position is located in a designated regional area of Australia.

Teacher Immigration Australia Under A Labour Agreement

Labour Agreements provide another avenue for employers in Australia to sponsor overseas workers in occupations that are not included on the standard SOLs.

A labour agreement is negotiated between the Australian Government (represented by the Department of Home Affairs) and employers who seek to sponsor overseas workers for their business.

Labour agreements enable approved businesses to sponsor skilled overseas workers when there is a demonstrated need that cannot be met in the Australian labour market and the standard temporary or permanent visa programs are not available (for example, the occupation which the employer is seeking to nominate is not included on the SOL for the TSS, SESR or ENS visa programs).

One of the main benefits of entering into a labour agreement is its flexibility as it enables an employer to negotiate terms that meet the needs of the business (different types of agreements allow for varying levels of flexibility). This means that an employer may be able to negotiate certain concessions to the skilled visa criteria that would normally apply under the standard employer sponsored visa grant requirements. This can include requirements relating to English language competency, salary and age thresholds. A labour agreement can also be used to employ overseas workers in new or emerging occupations that are not defined in the ANZSCO.

Under a labour agreement, an employer can sponsor or nominate suitably skilled overseas workers for an employer sponsored teacher visa Australia in accordance with the terms which have been negotiated with the Department of Home Affairs (the Department) in the executed labour agreement (different types of agreements allow for varying levels of flexibility).

There are five types of Labour Agreements, as listed below:

• Company specific labour agreements
• Designated Area Migration Agreements (DAMA)
• Project agreements
• Global Talent Employer Sponsored (GTES) agreements
• Industry labour agreements

To learn more about labour agreements, including the different types of labour agreements and how they operate, please refer to our Labour Agreement Visa article.

Skills Assessment

To be deemed ‘suitably qualified’ for a nominated occupation under the skilled visa program, applicants are required to demonstrate that they possess a minimum level of skills, qualifications and/or employment experience as prescribed by the migration provisions for the relevant skilled visa class which is being applied for. This may include the requirement that an applicant obtains a positive skills assessment in their nominated occupation (to be completed by a specified skills assessing body). The skills assessment must be within the accepted validity date (which is normally either three years from the date of issue, or on a date earlier if specified in the skills assessment).

It must also be the correct type of skills assessment. Applicants must have a skills assessment that meets the requirements for the visa for which they are applying. For example, some assessing authorities offer a provisional skills assessment for recent graduates of Australian educational institutions who are applying for a Subclass 485 Temporary Graduate visa. A provisional skills assessment issued for this purpose is not a suitable skills assessment for a permanent residence skilled visa application, for example.

Skill Assessments For Teachers

Each teaching occupation is subject to its own prescribed skills assessing body. The Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership Limited (AITSL) conducts skill assessments for early childhood, middle school, primary school, secondary school, special needs and special education teachers, as well as teachers of the hearing and sight impaired.

While Vocational Education and Training Assessment Services (VETASSESS) conducts skill assessments for private tutors and teachers; teachers of English to speakers of other languages and vocational education teachers (non-trades).

Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) undertakes skill assessments for vocational education teachers in trade occupations.

We provide further information about the skill assessment criteria for each teaching occupation that may be nominated for a teacher visa Australia in our discussion below.

English Language

English language criteria also apply, which may require applicants to complete a prescribed English language test and achieve a specified minimum test score (there are exemptions in certain cases). Be aware that English test results are valid for a limited period (depending on the class of visa being applied for and the level of English competency required).

Which Skilled Visa Options Are Available For Teacher Migration To Australia?

Before we delve into the detail about the teaching occupations which may qualify for a teacher visa Australia, let us start our discussion by introducing the main types of skilled visas that are available for teacher immigration Australia. We also provide links to further information on these visa options at the conclusion of this article.

Training Visa

The Subclass 407 training visa is a sponsored visa which is designed to help you to improve your skills in your current occupation, area of tertiary study, or to participate in a professional development training program in Australia. The subclass 407 visa is not suitable for applicants whose sole purpose is to perform work in Australia but rather, to engage in workplace-based training.

One of the subclass 407 visa requirements is that you need to be sponsored by an Australian organisation or government agency (including a foreign government). You must also be nominated for the subclass 407 visa (unless your sponsor is a Commonwealth Government agency, in which case you will need to be invited in writing). You need to select from one of three nomination types, depending on the purpose or type of training which you seek to undertake. Each nomination type has specified requirements, one of which requires your occupation to be included on a subclass 407 training visa skilled occupation list.

The subclass 407 visa can be granted for a period of up to two years and permits unrestricted travel to and from Australia for the duration of the visa. You can also include certain members of your family unit as dependent visa applicants, allowing them to accompany you to Australia.

Nomination Type 2: Occupational Training To Enhance Skills

Nomination type 2 requires the occupational training to be a structured workplace-based training program which is designed to meet your training needs, as the nominee.

Selected teaching occupations are included on the skilled occupation list for the subclass 407 training visa. To qualify, you must have at least 12 months full-time employment experience in the nominated teaching occupation (in the two years immediately before lodgement of the application) to qualify under nomination type 2.

Be aware that the subclass 407 visa is a temporary visa only with no direct pathway to permanent residency in Australia.

To learn more about the subclass 407 training visa program, please see our article on the subclass 407 Training Visa Requirements And Occupations.

General Skilled Migration

The General Skilled Migration (GSM) visa program offers the following skilled visa options (all of which are points-based) for selected teaching occupations:

• Subclass 189 Skilled (Independent) visa;
• Subclass 190 Skilled (Nominated) visa (a permanent residence visa that requires State Sponsorship approval); and
• Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa.

The GSM program operates under an invitation-based system, whereby applicants must first lodge an Expression of Interest (EOI) with the Department of Home Affairs (the Department). Only upon receipt of an invitation can applicants then proceed to apply for the visa itself. Periodically, we publish a summary of the results for invitations issued in the most recent invitation round. We refer you to the latest invitation round results.

PR Points For Teachers In Australia

The subclass 189 visa grants you immediate permanent residence in Australia. It is a points-tested teacher migration to Australia visa, which means that you need to attain at least 65 PR points for teachers in Australia in the migration points test to qualify.

The same applies to the subclass 190 visa, although you need to be nominated by a State or Territory Government to qualify. Note that you will be granted an additional 5 PR points for teachers in Australia on account of the nomination.

Can a primary teacher get PR in Australia? Yes, a primary school teacher may qualify for a subclass 190 permanent residence visa.

Selected teaching occupations may also qualify for a Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa, which may be state or family sponsored (depending on the teaching occupation).

The subclass 491 visa is also a points-tested visa. This means that to apply (and qualify for) a subclass 491 visa, you will need to attain at least 65 PR points for teachers in Australia. This visa option grants you an additional 15 PR points for teachers in Australia for the nomination/sponsorship.

The term of the subclass 491 visa is five years. As a subclass 491 visa holder (including any accompanying visa dependents), you must live, work and study only in a designated regional area of Australia.

Subclass 491 visa holders have unrestricted rights to travel to and from Australia during the visa term and are also entitled to enrol in Medicare, Australia’s public health system.

After you have held a subclass 491 visa for three years, you will be eligible for permanent residency as a teacher via a Subclass 191 Permanent Residence (Skilled Regional) visa, provided you meet specified requirements.

Can I move to Australia as a primary teacher? Yes, a primary school teacher may qualify for temporary visas, a permanent residency visa, and provisional visas which provide a pathway to permanent residency after three years, as you can see from the discussion above, as well as below.

Employer Sponsored Skilled Visa

The range of skilled visas options that are available for selected teaching occupations includes the Subclass 482 Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa, which is an employer sponsored temporary visa that may be granted for up to four years. It consists of three visa streams, namely, a Short-term, Medium-term and Labour Agreement stream (the labour agreement stream includes nomination in regional areas of Australia under a Designated Area Migration Agreement). The subclass 482 visa provides a pathway to permanent residence with an employer nominated visa after two years.

Under this employer sponsored skilled visa option, a sponsored teacher visa Australia is available for selected teaching occupations.

An occupation that is on the STSOL, MLTSSL or ROL currently provides a pathway to a Subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) permanent residence visa after two years.

That is, all TSS visa holders are eligible for permanent residency after 2 years under the TRT stream.

Employer Nominated Skilled Visa

Applicants seeking an employer nominated permanent residence visa who are prepared to commit to remaining with their nominating employer for at least two years from visa grant may consider a Subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) visa.

The subclass 186 employer nominated visa comprises of a Direct Entry, Temporary Residence Transition (TRT) and Labour Agreement stream. The TRT option provides a pathway to permanent residence for all TSS subclass 482 visa holders after two years. This pathway is also available under the labour agreement stream in certain instances. The Direct Entry stream is for eligible applicants who automatically qualify for permanent residence.

Employer Sponsored Regional Visa

The Subclass 494 Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (SESR) (Provisional) visa is a provisional visa which provides a pathway to permanent residence for teacher immigration Australia with the Subclass 191 Permanent Residence (Skilled Regional) visa after three years if the applicant meets specified requirements at that time. The term of the subclass 494 visa is five years.

A SESR visa holder is required to live and work in a designated regional area of Australia. They can travel to and from Australia on an unrestricted basis over the visa term. They are also entitled to enrol in Medicare.

Under this employer sponsored skilled regional visa option, a teacher visa Australia is available for teaching occupations.

Which Teaching Occupations May Qualify For A Teacher Visa Australia?

For migration law purposes, each nominated occupation is defined based on the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO). The ANZSCO occupational classification system provides a general description of each occupation, skill level, registration and/or licensing requirements and the tasks and duties that may be required to be performed as part of each occupation. Each occupation is assigned a unique ANZSCO code, which is used to identify the occupations that are eligible for a skilled visa for teachers in Australia.

The following occupational categories for teachers contained in ANZSCO may be nominated for teacher migration to Australia (classified as minor groups):

• School Teachers (minor group 241);
• Tertiary Education Teachers (minor group 242); and
• Miscellaneous Education Professionals (minor group 249).

Each minor category is then broken down into unit groups of occupations. The next level below this are specific occupations, which are each identified using an ANZSCO code. Skilled visa eligibility is, in part, based on whether your occupation appears on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL) for the skilled visa that you are seeking to apply for.

Our discussion will follow the ANZSCO structure as we have outlined above. We will start by looking at the minor groups listed above. We will then explore the unit groups that make up each minor group. We then conclude with the most important component in this discussion, that being the specific occupations that may be nominated for a teacher visa Australia.

Skill Assessments For Teachers

As noted in our discussion above, there are several prescribed skills assessing bodies for teacher immigration Australia, depending on the nominated teaching occupation selected. For the remainder of our discussion, we provide further details about the skill assessment criteria for AITSL and VETASSESS being the most widely used skill assessing bodies for teacher immigration Australia. If you would like further information about these skill assessing bodies or the TRA, please contact us.

AITSL

A positive skills assessment from the AITSL confirms that you have the required qualifications and English language proficiency for your nominated teaching occupation. All applications are assessed against qualifications and English language proficiency criteria and you must meet both for a successful outcome.

You must complete a minimum of four years full-time (or part-time equivalent) study at university level that results in qualification/s, and includes a relevant initial teacher education qualification.

An AITSL skills assessment includes an English language requirement that can be met either through a study option or with a suitable Academic International English Language Testing System (IELTS) Test Report Form.

Note that each teaching occupation has a checklist of eligibility criteria and documentary requirements that must be met.

Please refer to the AITSL website for further information.

VETASSESS

A VETASSESS full skills assessment involves assessing your qualifications and employment against the suitability of your nominated occupation. Qualification assessment involves assessing the educational level comparability of your qualifications on the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) and determining the relevance of your qualifications for your nominated occupation.

An employment assessment involves determining whether your work experience (obtained either in Australia or overseas) is at an appropriate skill level and relevant to your nominated occupation.

A positive assessment of both qualifications and employment is required for a successful skills assessment for migration purposes.
