Cabinetmaker — Queensland Nomination

Cabinetmaker in Queensland — nomination overview

Cabinetmaker (ANZSCO 394111) 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 has strong demand for cabinetmakers in cabinet making workshops, kitchen manufacturers, and furniture production businesses across Greater Brisbane and regional Queensland. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once Queensland opens nominations; Queensland applies competitive criteria including points score, English proficiency, and relevant trade experience. Skills assessment is conducted by TRA, covering overseas qualifications and work experience against Australian standards. English language proficiency, health, and character requirements must also be satisfied. MLTSSL listing opens three pathways: the Subclass 189 Skilled Independent visa (independent), the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa (permanent on grant), and the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa requiring three years of regional residence before applying for the Subclass 191 permanent visa. State nomination adds five points for Subclass 190 or fifteen points for Subclass 491 to the applicant's SkillSelect score. Government fees apply at nomination and visa stages; processing in Queensland typically takes one to three months. For advice tailored to your circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
