Why NT?

The Northern Territory is the smallest jurisdiction by population but one of the most accessible for skilled migration. The whole NT qualifies as regional under visa 491. Darwin and Alice Springs prioritize healthcare, indigenous services, mining services and tropical agribusiness. The NT's MINT program offers additional support and one of the broadest occupation lists in the country.

Worth knowing

  • Whole territory qualifies as regional (visa 491 + path to 191)
  • MINT program with broader occupation lists than other jurisdictions
  • Tropical climate, indigenous heritage, vast outback landscapes
  • High demand in healthcare, mining services and education
