Migration WA - Occupations in demand

Occupations in demand
Applicants who have an occupation identified on the Western Australian skilled migration occupation list (WASMOL)

(shown below) may be eligible for Western Australian State nomination using the following visas:
Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) or Skilled Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 489).
Please check the status of your occupation on the WASMOL to see if it is currently available for State nomination.
To determine your eligibility to apply, consult the Criteria for State nomination
.
State nomination applicants will have to compete with all potential employees in the Western Australian labour market to
secure any available or advertised position.
For occupations which require licensing or registration before being permitted to work in Western Australia, a positive skills
assessment and State nomination does not guarantee you will meet the licensing or registration requirements of the
relevant licensing or registration authority. Those considering applying for Western Australian nomination are advised to
check with the appropriate licensing or registration authority to verify their suitability for licensing or registration.

Notes on using the WASMOL.

Occupations may have the following status.

Available = occupation is available for nomination
Restricted = occupation is under review and invitations will not be issued pending the outcome of the review
Closed = occupation is closed for invitations

Occupations are categorised as schedule 1 or schedule 2 and only a limited number of nominations are available for
applicants with schedule 2 occupations on the WASMOL.

The occupations identified on WASMOL 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.
