Nurse Manager in Northern Territory — nomination overview
Nurse Manager (ANZSCO 254311) appears on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) and is eligible for state nomination in Northern Territory under the Northern Territory Skilled Migration program. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once Northern Territory opens invitations for this occupation. The NT prioritises applicants with a genuine intention to live and work in the territory, supported by a local employer connection. Nurse managers lead clinical teams across public and private networks, with nomination reflecting health system workforce planning. Skills assessment through the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC) is required, evaluating qualifications and clinical experience against Australian nursing registration standards. Applicants must meet English language requirements and satisfy health and character checks. Two pathways exist: Subclass 190 (Skilled Nominated) grants permanent residence, while Subclass 491 (Skilled Work Regional) is provisional and leads to Subclass 191 after three years of regional living and work. State nomination adds five points for Subclass 190 or fifteen points for Subclass 491. Processing in Northern Territory typically takes four to eight weeks, and visa fees are payable to the Department of Home Affairs. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
