Queensland offshore skilled occupation list

If your nominated occupation is not on the list below, you are not eligible for Queensland nomination in 2026-27. Please do not submit a Registration of Interest (ROI). 

Not all occupations are eligible for the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190).

The Department of Home Affairs uses the 2013 ANZSCO framework in Legislative Instrument 19/051, which outlines the occupations eligible for the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) and Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491). Queensland's Skilled Occupation Lists are derived from this legislative instrument.
