Occupation lists

Occupation lists are designed to fill critical skills shortages across the state. Occupations on Queensland Skilled Occupation Lists (QSOLs) are selected from the Department of Home Affairs Legislative Instrument 19/051.

Migration Queensland releases new lists in each financial year, once the skilled visa program is open.

Once an occupation has reached its quota, it may be removed from the list, and applicants are notified of this via the Migration Queensland website.

Please see Queensland Skilled Occupation Lists (QSOL) for further information.
