PLEASE NOTE: The estimated processing time for Queensland state nomination is approximately six weeks. Applying for nomination correctly does not guarantee success. Nomination is granted at the discretion of the Queensland Government and once a decision has been made it is final. The Queensland Government does not endorse any appeals to DIAC or the Migration Review Tribunal. The QSOLs are reviewed regularly and updated to reflect current labour market conditions. Some occupations have limited places and when these places have been filled the occupation will be removed from this list. Applicants must apply for nomination by submitting an EOI through SkillSelect. Applicants selecting Queensland will be viewed before candidates selecting "all states". The Queensland Government will screen suitable eligible candidates who genuinely would prefer to live and work in Queensland before those selecting all states and territories. Applicants must meet the occupational requirements as set out on these pages to apply for state nomination.

For all occupations, applicants who hold a passport for the United States, United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, Canada or New Zealand are not required to sit an English language test unless the registration/licensing body for that occupation requires an IELTS/OET test or the applicant requires additional points.
