Queensland Skilled Occupation Lists (QSOL)
The Queensland Skilled Occupation Lists (QSOL) reflect the current labour demand for positions throughout Queensland. Check the category applicable to your current situation to see if your profession is in demand in Queensland and ensure that you meet any specialisations and work experience requirements.
There are additional requirements against particular occupations on our lists, which may include a job offer, registration and work experience in specialised fields. Please do not submit an EOI if you do not meet the additional requirements (if applicable) as specified against your occupation.
After you check whether your occupation on the relevant list, please ensure you meet the rest of BSMQ’s criteria as listed:
- Living in Queensland (subclass 190) & (subclass 489)
- Offshore or Interstate (subclass 190) & (subclass 489)
- Queensland Postgraduate – Masters or PhD (subclass 190)
Please note: you must obtain a valid Skills Assessment (mandatory) and registration (where applicable) prior to lodging your EOI.

Note 1: Applicants must have a minimum of three years experience (including 6 months working in Queensland); and a job offer for a full time position in their nominated occupation. For regional areas this requirement is 2 years experience (including 4 months’ work in a regional Queensland location) and a job offer in a full time position in their nominated occupation. The work experience must be related to the nominated occupations.
Note 2: Applicants must have five years experience post qualification in their nominated occupation and a job offer for a full time position in their nominated occupation.

(The 2017-18 QSOL will also place a specific Queensland ceiling of 200 on nominations for ICT occupations across onshore, alumni and offshore programs).
Your ACS skills assessment will state what date your skilled work experience is recognised from – for example:
The following employment after December 2011 is considered to equate to work at an appropriately skilled level and relevant to 313113 (Web Administrator) of the ANZSCO Code.
Please ensure you check this date before claiming work experience points on your SkillSelect EOI. If you claim work experience points prior to this date listed on your skills assessment, your state nomination application will be refused due to points being incorrectly claimed. For more information, please refer to Migration Skills Assessment on the ACS website.

PhD graduates may be eligible for the Skilled Nomination (Permanent) visa (subclass 190), allowing you to live and work in Queensland permanently.
To be eligible for Queensland skilled visa state nomination, your occupation must be listed on the DIBP’s relevant list of eligible skilled occupations.
ANZSCO and Assessing Authorities
ANZSCO is a system developed to collect, publish and analyse occupation statistics across government agencies, and is being introduced by DIBP as the new standard to capture occupation information in all visa, settlement and citizenship programs.
ANZSCO is used within skilled visa programs, where it is a requirement for visa eligibility, as the standard by which a visa applicant’s skills to undertake a specific occupation in Australia are assessed.
The relevant assessing authority is listed against the occupations in the Migration (IMMI 17/072: Specification of Occupations and Assessing Authorities) Instrument 2017. Below is an explanatory list of the abbreviations for the assessing authorities. Please note this is not an exhaustive list. For more information, please see DIBP’s website.
