Commodities Trader in Western Australia — nomination overview
Commodities Trader (ANZSCO 222111) is listed on the Short-Term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) and is eligible for state nomination in Western Australia under the Western Australia State Nominated Migration program. SkillSelect candidates with a valid Expression of Interest may be nominated during Western Australia's skilled migration rounds. Western Australia nominates Commodities Traders to support its significant minerals, energy, and agricultural trading industries based in Perth. As a STSOL-listed occupation, the available nominated visa pathways are the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa and the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional visa. A successful Subclass 190 nomination adds five points to the SkillSelect score; the Subclass 491 provides a provisional pathway to permanent residence through the Subclass 191 after three years of regional residence and employment. Skills assessment is conducted by VETASSESS, which evaluates qualifications and work experience against Australian occupational standards. English language proficiency must be demonstrated through an approved test. Health and character requirements apply. Nomination processing in Western Australia typically takes four to eight weeks. Standard visa fees are payable to the Department of Home Affairs after a successful nomination offer. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
