2024-25 Western Australia State Nomination Invitation Rounds

The Western Australian (WA) State Nominated Migration Program (SNMP) for the 2024-25 fiscal year is designed to strategically address the state's skilled labor needs through consistent, albeit variable, invitation rounds. Here's a comprehensive breakdown of the process:

Monthly Invitation Schedule:

• Anticipated Monthly Rounds: WA Migration Services intends to conduct invitation rounds on a monthly basis. This regular schedule aims to provide consistent opportunities for skilled migrants to pursue state nomination.
• Variable Invitation Numbers: The precise number of invitations issued each month is subject to fluctuation. This variability is directly influenced by the current processing load of applications handled by WA Migration Services. Higher processing volumes may result in adjustments to the number of invitations distributed.

Invitation Process:

• Email Communication: Successful candidates who receive an invitation will be notified via email. This official communication will include a direct link to the state nomination application form, enabling candidates to proceed with their application.
• Direct Contact: WA Migration Services prioritizes direct communication with invited candidates, ensuring clarity and accessibility throughout the application process.

Future Invitation Considerations:

• EOI Eligibility is Not a Guarantee: It is crucial to understand that having an eligible Expression of Interest (EOI) lodged does not automatically guarantee an invitation for state nomination. The selection process is competitive and depends on various factors, including the state's labor market needs.
• Key Factors for Future Invitations:
  • Occupation Availability: Candidates must ensure that their nominated occupation remains listed on the current "Eligible occupations list" published by WA Migration Services. This list is subject to change, reflecting the state's evolving workforce demands.
  • EOI Compliance: Candidates must meticulously adhere to all requirements outlined in the "How to apply for WA State nomination" section. This includes ensuring that all information provided in the EOI is accurate, complete, and up-to-date.
• Proactive EOI Management: To maximize their chances of receiving an invitation in future rounds, candidates are strongly advised to regularly review their EOI and ensure it aligns with the latest program requirements.

The 2024-25 WA SNMP invitation rounds are designed to be a regular and responsive mechanism for attracting skilled migrants. While monthly rounds are anticipated, the number of invitations will vary. Candidates must maintain an active and compliant EOI, ensuring their nominated occupation remains in demand, to enhance their prospects of receiving an invitation.
