Queensland Health recognises the value international skilled clinical professionals have in the workforce, often filling long-term vacancies where there is a shortage of candidates with skills and experience.
To be eligible to work in non-clinical roles (scientific, administrative, trades etc) in Queensland Australia, you must meet the requirements of the relevant registration body/professional association for your occupation.
To help reduce the turnaround time for your Visa application, some professionals may be eligible to apply for registration/membership before obtaining a job with Queensland Health.
Information regarding the professions eligible for working visas in Australia and the assessment/registration body for your occupation is available from The Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) - Skilled Occupation Lists (formerly known as Form 1121i)
If you are not an Australian Citizen or resident, you will need to apply for a visa in order to work in Queensland.
The Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) provides a comprehensive overview of working in Queensland with information on residency visas and citizenship requirements. Please visit the DIAC website for further information.
Applicants for Australian citizenship must meet certain requirements. A person must have been present in Australia as a permanent resident for a total of two years in the last five years; including a total of 12 months in the two years immediately prior to application.
