    \n
  1. The \u201camplified\u201d source of the discussion\n\nLarge early childhood education groups adjusting their internal hiring standards.\nMany posts mention \u201cGoodstart no longer accepts GD as ECT\u201d.\nIn essence, this reflects large employers raising the ECT entry threshold:\nMaster\u2019s degree preferred, GD no longer accepted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The real policy change point\n\nTeacher Registration (ECT registration) tightening.\nGD early childhood graduates cannot directly register as ECT with NSW NESA.\n\n\u274c This does not mean the qualification is no longer recognised\uff0c\n\u274c This does not mean migration skills assessment is no longer possible\uff0c\n\nBut without teacher registration = you cannot legally work as an ECT.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Migration assessment remains unchanged\uff0c\n\nThe assessing authority ACECQA still conducts migration skills assessments for GD holders under Early Childhood Teacher (ECT) for 189 \/ 190 \/ 491 visas.\nThis does not affect the submission of a 189 visa application.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Why NSW \/ SA 190 has become extremely difficult\n\nBecause the 190 visa is a state-nominated, employment-oriented pathway.\n\nIn NSW \/ SA:\nTo be nominated, you need ECT employment \u2192\nECT employment requires teacher registration \u2192\nGD graduates cannot (or are extremely unlikely to) obtain ECT registration \u2192\nNo ECT job \u2192\n190 pathway breaks completely.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Common Questions
    \u2753 \u201cNSW and SA no longer recognise GD\u201d
    \u274c Incorrect.\nNSW \/ SA do not support GD graduates directly working as ECT \u2014 this is a teacher registration issue, not a qualification recognition issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2753 \u201cTeacher registration does not affect 189\u201d
    \u2705 Correct.\n189 only looks at migration skills assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2753 \u201cDoes this mean 190 in these two states is basically impossible?\u201d
    \u2705 Yes.\nFor GD early childhood graduates, this is largely true in practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2753 \u201cCan I pair GD with a Master\u2019s degree?\u201d
    \u2705 Yes.\nA Master\u2019s degree is becoming the mainstream configuration for early childhood migration,\nor alternatively, transitioning into secondary teaching is also an option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
