Helicopter Pilot — Western Australia Nomination

Helicopter Pilot in Western Australia — nomination overview

Helicopter Pilot (ANZSCO 231114) appears on the Consolidated Sponsored Occupation List (CSOL) and is eligible for state nomination in Western Australia under the Western Australia Skilled Migration program. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once Western Australia opens invitations for this occupation. Western Australia typically requires applicants to demonstrate a genuine intention to settle in WA and may require evidence of employment prospects in the state. Skills assessment from CASA is required. CASA (Civil Aviation Safety Authority) assesses aviation qualifications and experience against Australian aviation regulatory standards. Applicants must demonstrate English language proficiency through an approved test and satisfy health and character requirements. State or territory nomination may provide access to the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional visa, a provisional pathway requiring three years of regional residence before the applicant can apply for the Subclass 191 permanent visa. State nomination adds fifteen points to the SkillSelect score. Nomination processing in Western Australia typically takes six to twelve weeks, and visa fees are payable to the Department of Home Affairs. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
