Migration Giants

2015-2016 Western Australian skilled migration occupation list available now!

9 October 2015

The Department of Training and Workforce Development has released the Western Australian skilled migration occupation list (WASMOL) for 2015-2016.

The State nomination criteria will remain the same.

You must have an occupation on the WASMOL to be invited to apply for State nomination.

If you have lodged an application for State nomination prior to the release of the new WASMOL, your application will not be affected by the change of list.

Western Australia skilled migration occupation list (WASMOL)

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. Occupations may become unavailable without notice.

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.

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. It is recommended that you research employment opportunities in Western Australia (in your occupation) before making the decision to migrate.
