The occupation list may come with the following status that the applicants need to check according to their visa subclass. Applicants need to keep in mind that occupations lists can become unavailable without any prior information.
- Available: The occupation is available for nominations invitations.
- Under review: occupation is under review and, invitations to apply for State nomination will be limited pending the outcome of the review.
- Closed: The occupation is closed for invitations.
Applicants nominated for occupations designated ‘Regional Western Australia Only’ in the general or graduate stream need to provide evidence of job as per Category 3.
The following postcodes that come under the category are:
- 6041 to 6044
- 6084
- 6207
- 6213
- 6215 to 6537, and
- 6560 to 6770.
The applicants must know that the occupations listed on the list do not guarantee a job or a vacancy but justify that these occupations are given a high priority. Applicants must go through complete and prolific employment research before settling down on the decision of migration. For securing a job available on the list, the nominated applicants need to compete with other individuals.
A Positive skills assessment and state nomination does not guarantee that an applicant has cleared Occupations requiring licensing or registration before getting the permit to work in Western Australia.
For occupations that require licensing or registration before being permitted to work in Western Australia, a positive skills assessment and State nomination do not simply mean that applicant has met licensing or registration requirements of the relevant licensing or registration Authority. Applicants need to check with licensing or registration authorities to verify their eligibility for licencing or registration.
