Systems Administrator — Western Australia Nomination

Systems Administrator in Western Australia — nomination overview

Systems Administrator (ANZSCO 262113) is eligible for state nomination in Western Australia under the WA Skilled Migration program. Western Australia's resources industry, state government ICT divisions, and Perth-based enterprise organisations employ Systems Administrators to manage server infrastructure, virtualisation platforms, and cloud environments supporting distributed workforces. 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 evaluates overseas ICT qualifications and systems administration 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.
