The government of Western Australia put out their new initiative that is supposed to attract skilled immigrants and international students to help overcome skill shortages.

According to the state government's $195 million Reconnect WA strategy, 194 more occupations have been added to the Graduate Occupation List, with 331 listed occupations to attract more international students to study.

Expanding the Graduate Occupation List will help attract a diverse and broad range of skills that align with the State's present and future workforce needs

The skilled migration pathway provides the International students graduating with WA with an option to apply for permanent residence.

Nevertheless, the invitations to apply for the WA state nomination under the new Graduate Occupation List will not begin until the 2022-23 program year.

The International Education Minister David Templeman stated, " The International students are an essential part of the Western Australia community. They positively contribute to the State's vibrancy and diversity, and promote the local jobs in multiple industries."

The categories available for the applicants to apply for the state nomination include the Subclass 190 visa, Subclass 491 visa, and Subclass 494 visa.
