Grape Grower in Western Australia — nomination overview
Grape Grower (ANZSCO 121215) appears on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) and is eligible for state nomination in Western Australia under the Western Australia State Nomination program. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once Western Australia opens invitations for this occupation. WA accepts offshore and onshore applicants, with labour market needs driven by the resources, agriculture, and construction sectors. Skills assessment from VETASSESS is required, covering qualifications and work experience against Australian occupational standards. Applicants must demonstrate English language proficiency through an approved test and satisfy health and character requirements. Two pathways are available: the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa, granting permanent residence on grant, and the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional visa, which is provisional and requires three years of regional residence before the applicant can apply for the Subclass 191 permanent visa. State nomination adds five points for Subclass 190 or fifteen points for Subclass 491. Processing in Western Australia typically takes one to three months, and visa fees are payable to the Department of Home Affairs. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
