The Government of Western Australia is implementing a new initiative to attract skilled migrants and international students to Western Australia to help reduce skills shortages.

Western Australia Government is implementing new initiatives to attract skilled migrants and international students to Western Australia to help alleviate skills shortages. As part of the State Government's $195 million Reconnect WA strategy, an additional 194 occupations have been added to the Graduate Occupation List, taking the total number of listed occupations to 331 to attract more international students to study in WA.

Expansion of the Graduate Occupation List will help to attract a broad and diverse range of skills that align with the State's current and future workforce needs. The skilled migration pathway will also provide international students graduating in WA with the option to apply for permanent residence.

Along with prioritising applicants who are already in WA and Australia,he State Government has expanded the skilled migration criteria to allow offshore candidates to apply for WA State nomination. The changes will simultaneously support the international education sector and add to WA's pipeline of skilled workers in priority areas.
