New graduate stream for State nomination now available in Western Australia
A new graduate stream is now available for Western Australian State nomination.
The new stream is available to eligible university graduates who have studied for at least two years in Western Australia at a Western Australian university, and have an available occupation on the new Graduate occupation list for the intended visa subclass.
Visit the State nomination requirements page for more information and the full list of requirements you must meet in order to be eligible for this stream.
State nomination requirements
Applicants can be nominated through one of two streams.
The general stream; for applicants who meet the minimum requirements for State nomination and have an available occupation on the Western Australian skilled migration occupation list eligible for the intended visa subclass.
The graduate stream; for applicants who meet the minimum requirements for State nomination and additional requirements applicable to this stream, and have an available occupation on the Graduate occupation list eligible for the intended visa subclass. Additional requirements include having gained a higher education qualification in Western Australia, including at least two years of full time study in Western Australia at a Western Australian university.
Masters and PhD graduates will have access to all occupations on the Graduate occupation list. Bachelor and higher degree graduates will only be able to access some of the occupations on the Graduate occupation list. Check the Graduate occupation list to determine if your qualification type is eligible for your intending occupation. The university qualification you gain in Western Australia does not need to determine the occupation you wish to nominate from the Graduate occupation list for State nomination.
