The Western Australian State Nominated Migration Program (SNMP) 2024-25 program year is now open.
For the SNMP 2024-25 program year, the Western Australian government will continue to waive the $200 application fee.
A new feature of the 2024-25 SNMP includes additional employment contract arrangements for candidates invited through the General Stream – WASMOL – Schedule 1.
Invitation rounds for the 2024-25 program year are anticipated to be held the first week of each month, commencing in August 2024.
The 2024-25 SNMP criteria, program requirements and information on how to apply for WA State Nomination is available on the State Nominated Migration Program page.
In July 2024, the Western Australian Designated Area Migration Agreement (WA DAMA)(opens in a new tab) was established in response to the strong demand that still exists from employers to fill jobs in key areas of demand in Western Australia.
The WA DAMA will be the fifth DAMA for WA, complementing the existing Goldfields, Kimberley, Pilbara and South West DAMAs.
Endorsement applications to access the WA DAMA are now being accepted.
For more information on the WA DAMA, and to submit an Endorsement application please visit the Designated Area Migration Agreement page, or contact Migration Services on 9224 6540 or email migration@dtwd.wa.gov.au.
