Nutritionist — Western Australia Nomination

Nutritionist in Western Australia — nomination overview

Nutritionist (ANZSCO 251112) 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 requires nutritionists across public health programs, community health organisations, the food industry, sports science, and health promotion agencies, and accepts both offshore and onshore applicants. Skills assessment is conducted by VETASSESS, which assesses overseas qualifications and professional experience in nutrition science and public health nutrition practice against Australian occupational standards. Membership with the Nutrition Society of Australia or Dietitians Australia may support the application. 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 the applicant can apply for the Subclass 191 permanent 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.
