Western Australia's resources sector, state government cyber security investments, defence supply chain operators, and Perth-based financial services rely on ICT Security Specialists to maintain secure and resilient information environments. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once Western Australia opens invitations for this occupation. Skills assessment is conducted by the Australian Computer Society (ACS), which assesses overseas ICT qualifications and security specialisation experience. 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. Government fees apply at nomination and visa stages. Processing in Western Australia typically takes one to three months. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
