General guidance only. This covers the eligibility requirements common to all skilled-nomination applicants and does not capture every Western Australia stream rule, which change without notice and are set at the WA Government's discretion. Always check the official Western Australia skilled migration page and seek advice from a registered migration agent before relying on a result. Meeting the common core does not guarantee a nomination.
