UPDATED: Skilled Migration Western Australia Occupation Lists
Applicants who have a nominated occupation identified on the Western Australian skilled migration occupation list (WASMOL) or Graduate occupation list (GOL) may be eligible for Western Australian State nomination using one of the following visa subclasses:
- Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190); or
- Skilled Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 489)
The WASMOL is available to applicants who intend to use the general stream.
The GOL is available for applicants who intend to use the graduate stream.
The new GOL stream is available to:
- eligible university graduates who have gained a higher qualification and studied for at least two years in Western Australia at a Western Australian university;
- have an available occupation on the Graduate occupation list for the intended visa subclass; and
- can meet the Western Australian State Nomination Graduate stream eligibility criteria.
Notes on using the occupation lists
Occupations may have the following status.
-
Available: occupation is available for nomination
-
Restricted: occupation is under review and invitations to apply for State
nomination will be limited pending the outcome of the review -
Closed: occupation is closed for invitations
The occupations identified on the occupation lists do not relate to any specific job vacancies, nor represent any guarantee of a job, but rather identify occupations that are considered a priority for the State. It is recommended that you research employment opportunities in Western Australia (in your occupation) before making the decision to migrate.
You will need to have a skills assessment suitable for migration purposes in your nominated occupation.
