Quota usage
As of now, Queensland officials have actually issued 465 quotas (accounting for 39%), and the remaining 735 (accounting for 61%). However, the state government added that 50% of the total quota has been used, including some applications that have been pre-invited but are still under review.

No fixed rounds, the next round will focus on issuing overseas invitations
Data shows that the invitation speed of Queensland skilled immigrants is not “behind”. Due to the small quota, this year did not adopt a fixed round issuance mode, which is different from last year’s “monthly round” system. Next, each channel will continue to accept submissions and issue invitations one after another according to the quota situation. Officials said they will closely monitor the use of quotas to ensure that they can be maintained until the end of the fiscal year and not all quotas will be consumed in a short period of time. In the next few weeks, Queensland will conduct a new round of invitations, mainly for overseas applicants.

Overseas channel requirements

- IELTS four 6
- 5 years of relevant work experience

It is worth noting that Queensland no longer considers EOI scores and submission time. The state government has made it clear that they will not issue invitations based on the order of submission of EOI or ROI, but will comprehensively evaluate multiple factors (see official instructions for details).
