Manufacturer — Queensland Nomination

Manufacturer in Queensland — nomination overview

Manufacturers (ANZSCO 133411) are nominated by Queensland under its skilled migration program, offering pathways to permanent and provisional skilled visas. The occupation is listed on the STSOL, enabling access to the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa and the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional visa. A skills assessment from VETASSESS is required, assessing academic qualifications and professional experience in manufacturing management against Australian standards. Queensland nominates Manufacturers to address workforce gaps in its food production, resource processing, and advanced manufacturing industries. State nomination under Subclass 190 adds five points to a SkillSelect Expression of Interest score; the Subclass 491 nomination adds fifteen points. Applicants must hold Competent English, be under 45 at invitation, and meet health and character requirements. Queensland may require nominees to commit to residing and working in the state following visa grant. Indicative government fees start from AUD 4,640 for the primary applicant. Processing timelines for these streams typically run eight to eighteen months. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
