Stonemason — Queensland Nomination

Stonemason in Queensland — nomination overview

Stonemason (ANZSCO 331112) is listed on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and is eligible for state nomination in Queensland under the Queensland Skilled Nominated program. Queensland employs stonemasons across heritage restoration, commercial facades, and residential projects across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and regional Queensland. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once Queensland opens nominations for this occupation; Queensland applies competitive criteria including points score, English proficiency, and relevant trade experience. Skills assessment is conducted by Trades Recognition Australia (TRA), which evaluates overseas qualifications, training, and hands-on trade experience against Australian standards. English language proficiency, health, and character requirements must all be satisfied. Two nomination pathways are available: the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa, granting permanent residence upon grant, and the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa, a provisional visa requiring three years of regional residence and employment before the holder can apply for the Subclass 191 permanent visa. Nomination adds five points for Subclass 190 or fifteen points for Subclass 491. Government fees apply at nomination and visa stages, with processing in Queensland typically taking one to three months. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
