Audiologist — Western Australia Nomination

Audiologist in Western Australia — nomination overview

Audiologist (ANZSCO 252711) appears on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and is eligible for state nomination in Western Australia under the Western Australia State Nomination program. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once Western Australia opens invitations for this occupation. WA accepts offshore and onshore applicants, with labour market needs driven by health, resources, and infrastructure sectors. Skills assessment from VETASSESS is required, covering qualifications and professional experience against Australian occupational standards. Applicants must demonstrate English language proficiency through an approved test and satisfy health and character requirements. Two nomination pathways are available: the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa, which grants 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 to the applicant's points test score for Subclass 190, or fifteen points for Subclass 491. Processing in Western Australia typically takes one to three months, 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.
