Medical Oncologist — Queensland Nomination

Medical Oncologist in Queensland — nomination overview

Medical Oncologist (ANZSCO 253314) appears on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) 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 may prioritise applicants with a local job offer or previous study and employment history in the state. Skills assessment through the Medical Board of Australia (MedBA) and the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) is required, evaluating overseas medical qualifications and clinical experience in oncological diagnosis, systemic anticancer therapy, and cancer management against Australian standards for specialist registration. Applicants must demonstrate English language proficiency through an approved test and satisfy health and character requirements. Two 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 a Subclass 191 permanent visa application. State nomination adds five points for Subclass 190 or fifteen points for Subclass 491 to the applicant's points test score. Processing in Queensland typically takes a few weeks to two months, and visa fees are payable to the Department of Home Affairs. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
