Among the pioneers this season is Western Australia (WA), launching its 2023-24 Skilled Migration State Nomination Program for skilled professionals. If you are keen on opportunities in WA, the coming months of 2023 may be your time to act.
Western Australia has refined its program to align with workforce needs and applicant experience. The aim is clear: connect skilled migrants with strong WA job prospects.
WA Skilled Migration 2023/24: What’s new
Fee free applications: WA continues to waive the A$200 application fee for 2023/24.
Refined prioritisation: sectors of critical demand are in focus. If your expertise is in any field below, WA may be especially welcoming.
Priority sectors in WA

How the ranking works
All candidates are valued. WA applies a single, fair ranking system for interstate and international applicants, with a modest preference for applicants already living in WA.
Construction pathway adjustments
Given the high demand in building and construction, WA has eased some employment requirements to attract qualified workers to the industry.
