Nominated visa (subclass 190) or Skilled Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass

Western Australian labour market to secure any available or advertised
position.
For
occupations which require licensing or registration before being permitted to
work in Western Australia, a positive skills assessment and State nomination
does not guarantee you will meet the licensing or registration requirements of
the relevant licensing or registration authority. Those considering
applying for Western Australian nomination are advised to check with the
appropriate licensing or registration authority to verify their suitability for
licensing or registration.
Occupations
may have the following status.
Available = occupation is available for nomination
Restricted = occupation is under review and invitations will not be issued pending the outcome of the review

Restricted = occupation is under review and invitations will not be issued pending the outcome of the review
Closed = occupation is closed for invitations
Occupations
are categorised as schedule 1 or schedule 2.
The
occupations identified on WASMOL do not relate to any specific job vacancies,
nor represent any guarantee of a job, but rather identify occupations that are
considered a priority for the State. It is recommended that you research
employment opportunities in Western Australia (in your occupation) before
making the decision to migrate.
