📣 BSMQ Has Opened Offshore Processing For Subclass 491 For Some Medical Professionals… 24th April 2020

 

Eligibility Criteria

 

To be eligible for Queensland nomination, you must meet both Australian Department of Home Affairs (HA) criteria and Business and Skilled Migration Queensland (BSMQ) criteria for your chosen visa category.

 

HA criteria requires you to:

 

  • have a points test result of 65 or higher, inclusive of state nomination points;
  • have a positive skills assessment in your nominated occupation;
  • be under 45 years of age;
  • meet the minimum English language requirement of COMPETENT, unless a higher level is required by your assessing authority; and
  • submit additional documents if invited to lodge an application for a subclass 190 or subclass 491 visa.

 

BSMQ criteria requires you to:

 

  • have an occupation on the QSOL for applicants not currently working in Queensland (offshore);
  • satisfy specialisation or other requirements for certain occupations;
  • provide evidence that you have a minimum of 2 years’ post-qualification work experience in your nominated occupation (unless otherwise stated);
  • commit to living and working in Queensland from the date that you arrive in Queensland to live permanently.

 

Please note: if you are an overseas PhD graduate, you may be eligible for a work experience requirement waiver if you have a minimum 12 month job offer with a Queensland employer registered in Australia. The job offer must be related to your occupation, and evidence is required showing acceptance of the offer.
