Dietitian — Western Australia Nomination

Dietitian in Western Australia — nomination overview

Dietitian (ANZSCO 251111) appears on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) and is eligible for state nomination in Western Australia under the Western Australian 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. WA has chronic shortages of dietitians in regional hospitals, remote communities, the mining workforce, and private clinical settings, and accepts offshore and onshore applicants. Skills assessment is conducted by Dietitians Australia (DA), which assesses overseas qualifications and clinical dietetic experience against Australian professional standards. A supervised practice period or recognised bridging program may be required before achieving full DA membership. English language proficiency and health and character requirements apply. Two nomination pathways are available: the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa, granting permanent residence on grant, and the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional visa, a provisional visa requiring three years of regional residence and employment before transitioning to permanent residence via the Subclass 191 visa. State nomination adds five points for Subclass 190 or fifteen points for Subclass 491. Processing in Western Australia typically takes one to three months. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
