The reviewed official pathway pages say 2025–26 ROIs are closed and future settings and opening date will be published. The requirements below are the latest published baseline, not confirmation that a 2026–27 intake is open or unchanged. Checked 23 October 2026.
- A Queensland degree does not remove the employment requirements.
- Old pathway pages can contain a welcoming introduction and a closure notice at the bottom; the closure must not be ignored.
- Do not present last year's work durations as guaranteed new-year settings.
Stream requirements (4)
Being on an occupation list only makes an occupation relevant to a stream. It does not mean a person is eligible or will be nominated.
All streams and pathways 4
Onshore skilled employment — published baselineNine months immediately living and working in Queensland, after qualification, at least 20 hours weekly in an occupation sharing the first three ANZSCO digits with the nominated occupation.
No further detail recorded for this stream.
Queensland university graduates — published baselineA qualifying bachelor, master's or PhD completed wholly in Queensland after 1 July 2021, meeting the Australian study requirement. The published pathway permits work in the nominated occupation or an ANZSCO Skill Level 1 occupation; work duration and location still apply.
No further detail recorded for this stream.
Offshore — published baselineAn occupation on the Queensland Offshore Skills List and at least one year of skilled employment in the nominated or closely related occupation. The applicant must remain in relevant employment at invitation and nomination.
No further detail recorded for this stream.
Building and constructionA separate published pathway exists. Do not assume the ordinary onshore work-duration rule or the graduate rule applies; verify its own list and current intake.
No further detail recorded for this stream.
What this page cannot tell you
- This is occupation research, not a personal eligibility assessment or an invitation prediction. Points, age, English, skills assessment, residence, employment and other stream conditions must all be checked.
- List membership, priority ranking, program opening status and invitation outcomes are different facts. None alone proves eligibility.
- Queensland and WA Schedule 1, Schedule 2 and Graduate lists are explicitly 2025–26. NSW's 491 update is pending. WA Defence occupation coverage and Victoria's full current-year criteria remain unverified; no current-year eligibility conclusion is inferred from older or missing coverage.
- Only approved state guides are included. Prepared or saved private drafts are never exposed. Some state pathways may not yet have an approved detailed guide.
- Federal coverage here is the points-tested 189/190/491 catalogue, not the separate employer-sponsored CSOL, labour agreements or DAMA lists. Employer-sponsored 482/186/494 options require separate assessment.
- Invitation rows are shown only when an approved guide identifies this exact occupation code or exact occupation title; unit-group results are not treated as individual occupation cutoffs. No scores or dates are invented or borrowed from crowd-sourced reports.
