Brisbane, 19 September 2025 – Queensland has opened its Skilled Migration Program for 2025–26, and state nomination applications are now open.

The program supports skilled workers and business migrants who want to settle in Queensland. It is an important step toward an Australian visa under the Skilled Nominated (subclass 190) and Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) (subclass 491) visas.

  • Eligible Visas: Subclass 190 and 491

  • Pathways: Skilled workers, graduates, and small business owners

Application Process

To apply, candidates must first submit a Registration of Interest (ROI). After that, only selected applicants will receive an invitation to lodge their nomination. Therefore, meeting the state’s criteria and matching its workforce needs is crucial.

Why This Update Matters

Queensland remains one of the most attractive destinations for skilled migrants. The state offers strong job growth, regional opportunities, and a high quality of life. Moreover, the 2025–26 intake is likely to attract thousands of applications worldwide, particularly from industries with critical skill shortages.

Expert Advice for Applicants

Migration experts advise applicants to prepare documents early and keep their Expression of Interest (EOI) updated in SkillSelect. In addition, they recommend applying quickly because quotas for state nomination are limited. Acting on time can greatly improve your chances.
