​QLD The Queensland guarantee is the most detailed

This financial year, Queensland State Guarantee has changed from inviting only a few specific industries in the last financial year, and this time it is open to almost all occupations (MLTSSL medium and long term occupation list, STSOL short term Occupation list, ROL remote area occupation list), which is really a good news, but as a state guarantee application, like other states that have issued invitations, Queensland favours applicants already working in the state and Queensland graduates.
