Western Australia Skilled migration occupation list (WASMOL) – due to be updated late May 2017

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

As detailed in a previous post the Western Australian skilled migration occupation list (WASMOL) is currently operating under an interim list. The list includes only medical and health care occupations.

If your occupation is on this list you may be considered for the Skilled Nominated (Subclass 190) Visa and the Skilled Regional (Provisional) (Subclass 489) Visa. As a starting point however, you should look at whether you are eligible for a Skilled Independent (Subclass 189) visa.

As soon as we become aware of these changes we will publish them here and share them via Twitter.
