Occupational Health and Safety Adviser — Western Australia Nomination

Occupational Health and Safety Adviser in Western Australia — nomination overview

Occupational Health and Safety Adviser (ANZSCO 251312) 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's resources sector, including mining, oil and gas, and construction industries, has strong and sustained demand for qualified OHS advisers experienced in high-risk workplace environments. Skills assessment is conducted by VETASSESS, which evaluates overseas occupational health and safety qualifications and professional advisory experience against Australian standards. Relevant OHS or WHS qualifications and demonstrated experience in risk assessment, incident investigation, and safety management systems are assessed. 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.
