Western Australia New Skilled Migration Stream requirements 2018

As discussed earlier about Western Australia introducing new skill migration stream for graduates of the Western Australia to live and work in the state on permanent basis. Keeping in mind the skill requirement, the state has introduced the new Graduate Stream for the State Sponsored Visa Subclass 190 and Skilled Regional Provisional Visa Subclass 489. This is surely a welcome move for international students with skilled migration becoming more and more competitive.

Till now, the process for Western Australia State Nomination Program had to go through the General Stream that includes nominating occupation listed on the WASMOL (Western Australia Skilled Migration Occupation List). There were limited number of occupations mentioned on WASMOL that includes medical practitioners and hence there were lesser immigration to the state.
