Migration Queensland

There’s no better time to migrate to Queensland than now.  

As the Queensland State Government agency responsible for business and skilled visa nomination, Migration Queensland helps migrants by providing the opportunity to experience working, living and playing in our great state.  

Queensland’s stable economy and progressive government approach offers an abundance of work opportunities, and support for new businesses with cutting-edge programs and initiatives designed with economic progress, development and success in mind.  

With days and days of blue skies and some of the world’s most vibrant, livable cities, it’s no surprise that Queensland is referred to as Australia’s Sunshine State.  

Program updates

The Queensland State Nomination program opens and closes periodically due to nomination allocations (quotas) being met. Find out whether nominations are currently open for your visa subclass.
