Types of Skilled Migration Visas Available in Perth

Skilled Migration Through Western Australia State Nomination

Eligibility for Western Australia State Nomination

Western Australia's state nomination program requires applicants to meet both federal visa criteria and further eligibility requirements set by Migration WA. These may include working in a priority occupation, demonstrating relevant experience, and showing a genuine commitment to living and working in WA. Eligible occupations are drawn from Western Australia's own state occupation lists, which sit alongside the national occupation list used for federal eligibility.

Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190) for Western Australia

WA's Subclass 190 pathway is managed through Migration WA's State Nominated Migration Program, and state nomination places are limited and allocated by invitation round. The process involves demonstrating that an applicant's skills align with the state's workforce demands, with priority sectors including mining, resources, construction, healthcare, and engineering.

Skilled Work Regional Visa (Subclass 491) Pathways

Western Australia also nominates for the Subclass 491 visa, aimed at applicants willing to contribute to regional communities. Applicants generally need to reside and work in a location that meets both the Department's federal regional definition and Western Australia's own program rules for this pathway, which can differ from the federal definition in some cases.

Occupations in Demand in Western Australia

State nomination is often shaped by current labour market needs. WA's state nomination program supports qualified professionals whose occupation appears on the relevant WA occupation list. Occupations in sectors such as healthcare, engineering, information technology, and construction trades are frequently prioritised, although this can shift with economic conditions.

Skilled Migration Opportunities in Perth

In-demand occupations in Western Australia

Perth continues to attract skilled professionals across a range of industries, with occupations in mining and resources, healthcare, engineering, and construction trades often in strong demand.

Skilled migration pathways through Western Australia state nomination

State nomination offers an additional pathway for applicants who may not meet the threshold for independent migration. For eligible skilled migrants, it provides a direct route to permanent residency and can improve points scores, increasing the likelihood of receiving an invitation to apply (ITA).

Working and living opportunities in Perth

Perth offers a strong resources-driven economy, comparatively affordable living costs relative to the eastern capitals, and a high standard of living, making it an attractive destination for skilled migrants seeking long-term career growth.

Pathways from temporary visas to permanent residency

Many skilled migrants move from a temporary visa, such as the Subclass 491, to permanent residency through structured migration pathways that depend on ongoing employment, residency, and compliance with visa conditions.

Skilled Migration Visa Eligibility Requirements

Meeting the points test for skilled migration

Applicants must satisfy the relevant threshold on the Department's points test, based on factors such as age, qualifications, and work experience. The minimum score considered for skilled migration visas is 65, though invitations generally favour applicants with higher scores. A higher qualification can improve your points score, and you may also be eligible for partner points unless your partner is an Australian citizen or permanent resident.

Occupation listed on the relevant skilled occupation list

Eligibility depends on whether your occupation is included on the applicable national or state occupation list at the time of invitation.

Positive skills assessment from the relevant authority

A valid skills assessment from the relevant assessing authority confirms that your qualifications and experience meet Australian standards for your nominated occupation.

English language proficiency requirements

Applicants must demonstrate competent English, typically through a recognised test such as IELTS or PTE, or equivalent evidence.

Health and character requirements

All applicants must meet Australia's health and character requirements, including medical examinations and police clearances.

Documents Required for a Skilled Migration Visa Application

Passport and identity documents

Applicants must provide valid identification documents to establish identity and citizenship.

Skills assessment documents

Evidence of a positive skills assessment from the relevant assessing authority is required.

Employment and work experience evidence

Documentation supporting your employment history, including references and contracts, is essential. Where employment is claimed as skilled work under the ANZSCO classification system, evidence supporting that classification must be provided.

Résultats de l'examen d'anglais

Recognised English test results must be provided where required.

Educational qualifications and transcripts

Academic records are necessary to demonstrate your qualifications and support your skills assessment.

Skilled Migration Visa Application Process

1

Consultation and eligibility assessment

The process typically starts with a detailed assessment of your eligibility, covering points, occupation, and available visa options.

2

Skills assessment and Expression of Interest (EOI)

Applicants must obtain a positive skills assessment and lodge an expression of interest through SkillSelect, the Department's online EOI system.

3

Invitation to apply and visa application lodgement

If invited, applicants can proceed to lodge a visa application supported by comprehensive documentation.

4

Communication with the Department and ongoing support

Throughout the process, communication with the Department is critical, and ongoing legal support can assist in addressing any requests or issues that arise.

Histoire de l'immigration à Perth

L'histoire de l'immigration à Perth remonte au début du XIXe siècle, lorsque la colonie de Swan River fut fondée en 1829 en tant que colonie libre, attirant ainsi des colons britanniques sur le littoral de l'Australie-Occidentale. La découverte d'or dans les années 1890 transforma Perth du jour au lendemain, attirant des migrants venus de toute l'Australie, de Grande-Bretagne et d'ailleurs, et consolidant ainsi le rôle de la ville en tant que cœur commercial de l'Ouest. En savoir plus

L'après-guerre a vu arriver d'importantes vagues de migrants en provenance d'Italie, de Grèce et d'autres régions d'Europe du Sud et de l'Est, Fremantle servant de premier point d'arrivée pour de nombreux navires transportant ces migrants. Aujourd’hui, l’Australie-Occidentale compte la plus forte proportion de résidents nés à l’étranger de tous les États australiens, avec environ un habitant de Perth sur trois né à l’étranger. Cette diversité ne cesse de s’accroître, sous l’effet de l’immigration qualifiée, des réfugiés humanitaires et des étudiants internationaux venus de toute l’Asie, du sous-continent indien et du Pacifique.
