WA State Nomination Rules Clarified for Migration Applicants
If you seek state nomination from Western Australia, your application must be fully complete from the outset. Additionally, you can generally receive only one nomination per program year, requiring a new Expression of Interest for any subsequent attempts.
WA Migration Services has clarified its nomination rules for state migration applicants. According to available data, applicants must now ensure their applications are “decision ready” by providing all requested information. Nominated individuals may also face a requirement to complete surveys for 24 months to facilitate information gathering on incentive payments.
The updated guidance specifies that WA Migration Services typically issues only one invitation per Expression of Interest (EOI). Furthermore, an applicant will generally be nominated only once per program year, which runs from July to June. A new EOI will be necessary for any subsequent invitations or re-nominations, even in exceptional situations.
This clarification is relevant for individuals planning to relocate to Western Australia, as it outlines key procedural requirements and limitations for state nomination, impacting application strategy and timelines.
