Queensland Skilled Occupation List
Occupations removed from the list
Please do not submit your EOI if you do not meet criteria or if your occupation has been removed from the relevant list as it will not be picked up.
Updated EOI’s will not be picked up or considered. You must submit a BRAND NEW EOI from 25 November 2019. No EOIs prior to this date will be considered.
Please ensure you have all documents ready to upload prior to submitting an EOI. Do not contact us to ask for an update on your application as at this significantly slows down processing times.
