Step 1: Skills Assessment (Very Important)

For teachers, the assessing authority is:

Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL)

You must submit:

• Teaching degree certificate

• Academic transcripts

• Evidence of supervised teaching practice

• IELTS results

• Passport

• National ID

• Birtth cert

• ⚠️ You cannot lodge EOI without a positive skills assessment.

 Step 2: Calculate Your Migration Points

Points are based on:

• Age

• English score

• Teaching experience

• Education level

Minimum required: 65 points
But competitive occupations often need 75+.

If points are low:

• Consider Visa 190 (+5 points)

• Consider Visa 491 (+15 points)

Step 3: Submit Expression of Interest (EOI)

You create a profile in SkillSelect and:

• Choose 189, 190, or 491

• Indicate preferred states (for 190/491)

You now wait for:

• State nomination (190/491) OR

• Direct invitation (189)

 Step 4: Apply for State Nomination (If 190/491)

Each state has its own criteria.
Some prioritize:

• Early Childhood Teachers

• Maths & Science Teachers

• Special Needs Teachers

 Step 5: Invitation to Apply (ITA)

Once invited:

• Lodge visa application

• Pay government fee

• Upload documents

 Step 6: Medical & Police Clearance

After visa lodgement:

• Do medical examination

• Submit police clearance

 Step 7: Visa Grant 

You become:

• Permanent Resident (189/190)
  OR

• Regional Provisional Resident (491)

 Summary Flow

IELTS → Skills Assessment → EOI → Nomination/Invitation → Visa Lodgement → Medical → Grant
