Are you a Dentist and working in QLD?

Posted by Jessy YANG

As we know “Dentist” is not on the MLTSSL List anymore, that means, you are not eligible to apply Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189) with this occupation.

However, there is another chance for you.

You could be qualified for SUB 190 State Nomination Visa with QLD Nomination.

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

The DHA 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
  • submit additional documents if invited to lodge an application for a subclass 190 or subclass 489visa.
BSMQ criteria requires you to:
  • have an occupation on the QSOL ‘Working in Queensland’ list
  • provide evidence of full-time employment (post-qualification) in your nominated occupation for the past 6 months in Queensland
  • provide evidence of ongoing employment with a Queensland employer registered in Australia for a further 12 months (minimum of 35 hours per week)
  • commit to living and working in Queensland for 2 years from visa grant.
