Migration prospects

Currently, occupational therapists (Occupational Assessment ANZSCO: 252411) can migrate or obtain a visa to work in Australia through the following channels:

I believe that the vast majority of students are going to the three major migration branches of 189/190/491.

In the case of 189,The OT profession only required 65 points in the last round of last fiscal year.You can get invited by stepping on the lowest score line

Currently, all 6 states and 2 territories are accepting 190/491 state sponsorship applications for occupational therapists.In addition, because occupational therapists are in the health sector, they are not onlyIn UNSW, Victoria and Western Australia, they are at the priority invitation level,In Tasmania this occupation is also on the key industry occupation list! Applicants who meet the application requirements will be prioritized and invited!

Note: The above table is compiled by we at the time of publication. The list of states will be updated from time to time. Please refer to the list of states at the time of submission. The above is for reference only.
