The Western Australian Skilled Migration Occupation List (WASMOL), which lists occupations available for WA State nomination through the General stream, has expanded to include a Schedule 1 and Schedule 2.
Updated requirements are available for applicants for the General stream with an occupation listed on Schedule 2.
This includes the following:-
- meet the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) criteria for the intended visa subclass;
- meet the minimum English requirements for your occupation; and
- have a 12-month full-time employment contract in Western Australia in the nominated (or closely related) occupation.
The existing requirements for the General stream will apply to applicants with an occupation on the WASMOL Schedule 1.
The Graduate stream requirements remain unchanged.
Occupation List
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 Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491).
Regional WA only
Candidates nominating for occupations that are designated ‘Regional Western Australia only’ in the General or Graduate stream must provide evidence of a job offer/contract of employment in a location defined by the Commonwealth as Category 3 – Regional Centres and Other Regional Areas (not Perth and Mandurah). These include the following areas by postcodes: 6041 to 6044, 6084, 6207, 6213, 6215 to 6537, and 6560 to 6770.
