Aeroplane Pilot — Queensland Nomination

Aeroplane Pilot in Queensland — nomination overview

Aeroplane Pilot (ANZSCO 231111) is listed on the Regional Occupation List (ROL) and Combined Skilled Occupation List (CSOL), making it eligible for state nomination in Queensland under the Queensland Skilled Migration program. SkillSelect candidates with a valid Expression of Interest may be invited when Queensland opens a nomination round for this occupation. Queensland nominates Aeroplane Pilots to address demand from regional aviation operators, charter services, tourism flights, and remote community air links across Queensland's vast regional and remote areas. As a ROL-listed occupation, the primary nominated pathway is the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional visa, which grants five years of provisional residence and transitions to permanent residence via the Subclass 191 after three years of regional employment at or above the income threshold. Skills assessment is conducted by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), which assesses aviation qualifications, flight experience, and licence credentials against Australian civil aviation standards. Applicants must demonstrate English language proficiency and satisfy health and character requirements. Nomination processing in Queensland typically takes four to eight weeks. Standard visa fees are payable to the Department of Home Affairs after a successful nomination offer. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
