ICT Security Specialist — Queensland Nomination

ICT Security Specialist in Queensland — nomination overview

ICT Security Specialist (ANZSCO 262112) is eligible for state nomination in Queensland under the Queensland Skilled Migration program. Queensland's government cyber security program, critical infrastructure protection needs across utilities and transport, and the Brisbane-based professional services sector create sustained demand for ICT Security Specialists. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once Queensland opens invitations for this occupation. Skills assessment is conducted by the Australian Computer Society (ACS), which assesses overseas ICT qualifications and security experience against Australian professional standards. 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. Government fees apply at nomination and visa stages. 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.
