Dental Hygienist — Queensland Nomination

Dental Hygienist in Queensland — nomination overview

Dental Hygienist (ANZSCO 411211) is listed on the Regional Occupation List (ROL) and is eligible for state nomination in Queensland under the Queensland Skilled Nominated program. Queensland has consistent demand for dental hygienists in private dental practices, community dental services, and public health clinics across Brisbane, regional cities, and rural 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 clinical experience. Skills assessment is conducted by VETASSESS, covering overseas qualifications and work experience against Australian health professional standards. English language proficiency, health, and character requirements must also be satisfied. ROL listing supports the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa, which requires three years of regional residence and work before applying for the Subclass 191 permanent visa; the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa may also be available where the occupation appears on Queensland's nomination list. 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. For advice tailored to your circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
