As outlined in our December 2024 edition of Early Childhood Update, applications for the Victorian Government’s 2024–25 skilled visa nomination program are open.
Early childhood teachers (ECTs) are on the skilled occupation list and are eligible to apply for a skilled visa nomination.
The program can help ECTs currently on temporary visas to stay in Victoria and take up a pathway to permanent residency. Eligible ECTs living in Victoria and overseas can submit a registration of interest on the Live in Melbourne website.
The Victorian Department of Jobs, Skills, Industry and Regions, in collaboration with the Department of Education, will hold a webinar about the program on Tuesday 18 February 2025 for people on temporary visas who hold ECT qualifications.
Please share information about the program, and the upcoming webinar, with early childhood teachers employed in your service who hold temporary visa status.
