Dietitian — Queensland Nomination

Dietitian in Queensland — nomination overview

Dietitian (ANZSCO 251111) appears on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) and is eligible for state nomination in Queensland under the Queensland Skilled Migration program. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once Queensland opens invitations for this occupation. Queensland has significant demand for dietitians across public hospitals, community health centres, aged care facilities, and private practice, particularly in regional and rural areas. Skills assessment is conducted by Dietitians Australia (DA), which evaluates overseas dietetic qualifications and clinical experience against Australian professional standards. Following a positive skills assessment, applicants may be required to complete a supervised practice placement or bridging program before gaining full DA membership. English language proficiency and health and character requirements apply. Two nomination pathways are available: the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa, granting permanent residence on grant, and the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional visa, a provisional visa requiring three years of regional residence and employment before the applicant can apply for the Subclass 191 permanent visa. State nomination adds five points for Subclass 190 or fifteen points for Subclass 491. Processing in Queensland typically takes a few weeks to two months. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
