Note 1: 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 with a Queensland employer registered in Australia. Queensland is seeking specific ICT skills and work experience in relation to one or more of the following: cyber security, data scientist, data and business analytics and ICT development and architecture. (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.
Note 2: Engineers – applicants must have registration with the Board of Engineers Queensland (BPEQ).
Note 3: Applicants must have 6 years experience working in their chosen field and a job offer for a full time position in their nominated occupation with a Queensland employer registered in Australia.
