Environmental Health Officer — Western Australia Nomination

Environmental Health Officer in Western Australia — nomination overview

Environmental Health Officer (ANZSCO 251311) appears on the Regional Occupation List (ROL) 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 local councils, health authorities, and regional resource sector organisations employ environmental health officers for compliance inspection, food safety, environmental monitoring, and public health regulation. Skills assessment is conducted by VETASSESS, which evaluates overseas environmental health qualifications and professional experience against Australian standards. Environmental Health Australia (EHA) membership supports the pathway. English language proficiency and health and character requirements apply. The only nomination pathway for ROL-listed occupations is 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. Subclass 190 nomination is not available for ROL-only occupations. A successful state nomination adds fifteen points to the applicant's points test score. Processing in Western Australia typically takes one to three months. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
