WA State Sponsorship Program re-opened 2023-24

Australia, Skilled Visa, Visa Update

WA State Sponsorship Program re-opened 2023-24! Western Australia have re-opened their state sponsorship program for 2023-24. This allows eligible candidates to apply for state nomination from WA.

State sponsorship is a requirement in obtaining a subclass 190 and 491 visa.

Learn more about state sponsored visas.

WA State Sponsorship Program re-opened 2023-24

The WA Government is making it easier for skilled migrants to obtain sponsorship. This includes:

  • No application fee;
  • Equal ranking for interstate and overseas applicants;
  • Prioritised invitations for applicants in ‘critical’ industries (refer to ranking system below below);
  • Reduced employment requirements; and
  • No employment contract requirement for candidates invited through a WA building and construction industry sector occupation.

WA has also created the Construction Visa Subsidy program, whereby eligible trade occupations can receive a grant of $10,000!

Learn more about Western Australia’s Construction Visa Subsidy program.

Before applying, we recommend paying close attention to the work experience and contract of employment requirements. You can assess your eligibility by visiting the Migration WA website. Alternatively, book a visa consultation with us.

WA Invitations – Rankings and issue dates

WA continue to operate a ranking system, as outlined below:

  • currently residing in Western Australia
  • currently residing offshore or in another Australian state or territory
  • occupations in priority WA Industry sectors (in no particular order):
    – building and construction;
    – healthcare and social assistance;
    – hospitality and tourism; and
    – education and training.
  • occupations in all other WA industry sector
  • highest EOI points score
  • oldest EOI submission date

This means that someone living in WA will receive an invitation before someone on higher points for example.

Invitations for WA State nomination are likely to be issued monthly. The number of invitations issued each month may vary, depending on the number of applications being processed by WA. If you are invited, WA Migration Services will contact you via email with a link to the state nomination application form.

Having an eligible EOI submitted in SkillSelect does not guarantee you will receive an invitation for State nomination.

Move to WA

Working Holiday age increases for UK applicants

Australia, News, Visa Update, Working Holiday Visa

It’s finally happened – Australia’s working holiday age increases for UK applicants!

Working Holiday age increases for UK applicantsWorking Holiday age increase for UK applicants

The Australia-UK Free Trade Agreement was signed nearly 2 years ago in December 2021. This agreement makes it easier for British people to live and work in Australia and vice versa. As part of this agreement, both Governments agreed to increase the eligible age for working holiday makers.

UK passport holders can now apply for a working holiday visa until the age of 35. Previously, UK applicants could only apply until the age of 30. UK passport holders can lodge an application for any Working Holiday (subclass 417) visa until midnight (AEST) on the day before their 36th birthday.

This will be welcomed news for those who want to live and work in Australia!

To see full details of the changes, please refer to the Government website.

Why choose a working holiday visa

A working holiday visa is a desirable option for migrants. This visa lets you experience Australia, with work rights allowing you to fund your travels. Other advantages include:

  • Quick processing times
  • Straightforward online visa application
  • Low visa application fee
  • Can be extended to 3 years if specified work is completed

A happy man plays on the beach with his dogsThis visa is temporary and has work limitations. Therefore, it’s not designed for those wanting to move permanently to Australia. You cannot include children on this visa, and each applicant must apply individually.

However, it may be a good ‘stepping stone’ visa, as it allows you to experience Australian life and discover employment opportunities at low cost. Some of our clients have found employer sponsorship opportunities after arriving in Australia as a working holidaymaker.

If you’re seriously considering a move to Australia, we recommend booking a visa consultation. Our migration agent Darren will explain your visa options to you, and help you decide the best pathway.

Australian visa changes from 1 July 2023

Australia, News, Visa Update

Australia’s migration year starts on 1 July, and with it comes a lot of anticipation! Commonly, this is when we see major changes to Australia’s visa system. This includes price increases, changes to visa criterion and more.

Working Holiday Visa

Australian visa changes will see more UK working holiday makers come to Australia.

Below, we outline the main Australian visa changes from 1 July 2023.

UK working holiday age increased

Perhaps the most anticipated change, more UK passport holders are eligible to apply for a working holiday visa. Eligible applicants can apply between the ages of 18-35 inclusive.

Full details are on the Department website.

Price increases

Visa application charges increase in line with inflation each year. Most fees have increased by 6% this year. Some popular visa categories outlines below:

Visa Before Current
Skilled visas (189,190,491) $4,240 $4,640
Partner visas (309/100,820/801) $8,085 $8,850
TSS short-term (482) $1,330 $1,455
TSS long-term (482) $2,770 $3,035
Employer Nominated Scheme (186) $4,240 $4,640
Working Holiday (417,462) $510 $635

Refer to the Department website for a full list of current visa application charges.

Increased income threshold for skilled applicants

Australian visa changes will see increased base wages for 482 visa holders

The Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold (TSMIT) has increased to $70,000. The TSMIT is the minimum wage a 482 visa holder must receive. Previously, the TSMIT was $53, 900 and

had not been updated since 2013.

By raising the income threshold, it’s hoped that international workers are paid a liveable salary and locals will not be undercut for jobs. However, this increase in salary will make it difficult for smaller businesses as the cost of employer sponsorship continues to rise. Time will tell how this will affect the willingness of Australian businesses to sponsor overseas workers.

Teaching in Australia after 45 – Is PR possible?

Australia, Employer Sponsored Visa, News, Teacher, Teaching, Visa

Learn about teaching in Australia after 45. Our Migration agent Darren explains the possibility of achieving permanent residency as a teacher in Queensland, even after your 45th birthday!

I am a teacher over 45 years old. Can I still apply for a permanent residency visa?

Darren Chatt MARN:0211214

“If you’re over 45 you can apply for an employer sponsored visa (subclass 482). There are no age restrictions on the 482 visa, however pathways to permanent residency are difficult.

If you’re a teacher over 45 years old, you can apply for permanent residency (PR) via the Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA). Applying under a DAMA bypasses the age restriction for PR.

Far North Queensland (FNQ) are approved under the DAMA, and teachers are on their occupation list.

If you’re over 45 and aiming for PR, it’s advisable to seek Queensland schools approved under this agreement. The school must have been operating within the Designated Area for at least 12 months prior to seeking endorsement.”

Teaching occupations included in DAMA

Teaching occupations included in the Far North Queensland Designated Area Migration Agreement:

  • Early Childhood (Pre-primary School) Teacher ANZSCO 241111
  • Primary School Teachers ANZSCO 241213
  • Secondary School Teacher ANZSCO 241411
  • Special Education Teacher ANZSCO 241599
  • Special Needs Teacher ANZSCO 241511
  • Teacher of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) ANZSCO 249311
  • Vocational Education Teacher ANZSCO 242211

All 7 occupations have an age concession of 55 years old.

DAMA areas

The FNQ DAMA designated area comprises the Cairns, Douglas, Mareeba, Tablelands and Cassowary Coast local government areas. Also, the Cook Shire Council, Torres Shire Council, and Northern Peninsula Area Regional Council local government areas, and the Weipa Town Authority area.

The business must have been operating within the Designated Area for at least 12 months prior to seeking endorsement.

Full details of the FNQ DAMA can be found on their website. The occupation list is regularly updated.

Increased Processing Times for Vetassess Trades

Australia, Chef, Hairdresser, Motor Mechanic, News, Skilled Visa, Skills Assessment

Are you a tradesperson applying for a skills assessment through Vetassess? Read the latest update on processing times.

Processing Times for Vetassess Trades

The processing time for Vetassess skills assessments continues to grow. If you’re lodging a trade skills assessment, you should allow for extra processing time.

You cannot apply for a skilled visa without first obtaining a positive skills assessment.

Vetassess executive director Rob Thomason provides an explanation.

“We are currently dealing with an unprecedented number of trade applications, which has extended our processing times. 

We understand this is causing frustration for you and your clients and want you to know that we are cognisant of the issue and are working to reduce our assessment times.

As you are aware, we are the only Trades Recognition Australia (TRA)-approved registered training organisation for occupations such as Diesel Motor Mechanic (321212), Airconditioning and Refrigeration Mechanic (342111), Toolmaker (323412) and Hairdressing (391111), and only one of two providers of assessment services for Motor Mechanic (General) (321211) and Automotive Electrician (321111).

An increase in demand for these occupations along with a shortage of qualified assessors in Australia, particularly for motor mechanics and engineering trades, has resulted in extended processing times.

We continue to recruit qualified assessors to deal with this increase and have resumed face-to-face assessments in the Philippines and elsewhere. We will hold practical assessments in South Africa from 28 – 31 March and hope to advise of other dates and venues soon.

It is important to note that all applications we receive are processed based on the lodgement date, i.e., the date in which we received payment approval from TRA.

We would like to apologise to you and your clients for the delays and assure you we are working hard to process skills assessments as quickly as possible.”

At Visa Go Australia we can assist with your skills assessment and visa application. We prepare you for each step of the visa process.

Electrician

Are you an Electrician moving to Australia?

Australia, Electrician, Employer Sponsored Visa, Future Skills International, News, Skilled Visa, Skills Assessment, Visa

Are you an electrician moving to Australia? At Visa Go Australia we understand it can be a daunting process. Below, we outline key considerations when moving to Australia.

Electrician visa options

ElectricianElectricians are in demand in Australia. This means there are lots of jobs and visa options available to you. Before you start spending money on the visa process, ensure you’re eligible to apply for a visa first.

Seeking advice from an experienced Migration Agent will help you understand which visas you can apply for. We offer visa consultations with our Migration Agent for just $100 AU. We think it’s a worthwhile investment before spending thousands on a skills assessment and visa.

Book a visa consultation with our Migration Agent Darren Chatt

Attend our free Electrician moving to Australia webinar

Complete your electrician skills assessment

Future Skills International conduct skills assessments for electricians

If you’re an electrician moving to Australia, you need to ensure you can work. The skills assessment is a part of this process.

You must be licensed to work as an electrician in Australia. Obtaining a positive skills assessment will issue with an Offshore Technical Skills Record (OTSR). Once you have an OTSR, you can apply for a provisional electrical license.

Learn more about the skills assessment process for electricians

Having a positive skills assessment will also give you the option of applying for a permanent residency visa. This is the best pathway for those looking to move to Australia on a long-term basis.

If you’re applying for a short-term visa like the working holiday, you can use our skills assessment only service. This includes a dedicated case processor to help you obtain a positive skills assessment. It’s cheaper than our full visa service.

To summarise

Are you ready to move to Australia as an electrician? There may be several visa options available to you, so it’s best to speak with a Migration Agent to find out what’s best suited.A happy man plays on the beach with his dogs

Electrician is on Australia’s skills list. This means skilled visas and employer sponsored visas are available. Australia’s working holiday visa is another popular option to live in work in Australia as an electrician.

To work in Australia, you’ll need to become licensed. To get your Australian electrical licensing you must complete a skills assessment with Future Skills International. The skills assessment is also the first part of applying for an Australian skilled visa, so it’s a necessary investment.

If you need help in moving to Australia, you can contact us for reliable and helpful advice.

Every step of the way was well explained and we got our visa granted with no hiccups along the way. Thankyou so much again sueIngrid Jansen van VuurenIngrid Jansen van Vuuren ★★★★★ 5 stars are not enough to thank Sue for the amazing work that she has done on our behalf! Apart from the fact that she is super thorough and knowledgable, she is also incredibly kind and understanding of the pressure and anxiety that her clients experience throughout their immigration journey. Today she went over and above her scope of duties by going into the office super early, just in case we could make a cut off (we were awaiting skills assessment results) and because of her dedication we got really lucky and managed to take up a great opportunity just in the nick of time! Sue, there aren't enough words in the world to describe how grateful we are for everything that you have done for us.Danny MckennaDanny Mckenna ★★★★★ Cannot recommend highly enough. Professional, thorough, patient and diligent. Any questions (and there were plenty) were answered very promptly by Sue. Thanks for everything guysGemma BeeGemma Bee ★★★★★ Visa Go have been really supportive and knowledgeable in terms of the process. Sue Tempany is really knowledgable and responsive to any questions. I would fully recommend visa go. Swift service!Lindsay WoolstonLindsay Woolston ★★★★★ Our process started with an initial conversation with Darren, before we were assigned our emigration agent Sue. The visa process itself is quite complicated, and I don’t know how we’d have even attempted to do this on our own!

Sue was amazing throughout, keeping us updated each step of the way, and providing detailed guidance at the start of each stage, which enabled us to start preparing and collating everything needed for the next part when the time came. Sue’s replies to the many emails that I've sent her way over the course of this process, were always prompt and patient, and nothing ever seemed to much trouble. Sue’s experience and understanding of the processes, timelines and the strict format in which things had to be done, meant that she was able to advise us and provide guidelines, which meant that when we submitted each stage, we were not having to worry about delays due to incomplete applications.

18 months on from that initial meeting - we have now been living and working in Australia for 8 months, and have recently changed onto a permanent visa.

We are extremely glad that we chose to work with Visa Go, and want to say a massive thank you to Sue, Darren and the team for all of their support and assistance throughout.
Callum DavidsonCallum Davidson ★★★★★ This was one of the most difficult challenges of my life to obtain a regional skilled migration visa for Australia. There were so many obstacles and hurdles to jump due to Covid lockdown and a race against ageism rules of turning 45. I certainly could not have done this without the help of visa go! Managed to secure an Invitation to apply from the Australian Government and with the assistance of my wonderful agent managed to fast track my ITA four days before my birthday! Never give up on your dreams. I now have my visa that can lead to PR thanks to Visa Go! You guys were awesome and really appreciate your help. ☺️Ashley FlemingAshley Fleming ★★★★★ I can’t thank Kimberley and Darren enough for all the time, effort and support they gave us whilst going through our visa process. They answered any and all questions and made such a daunting undertaking much less stressful with all their advice and guidance. Would highly recommend!Darren CastleDarren Castle ★★★★★ After 4 1/2 years since our first contact with Visa Go Australia, and just over 3 years since starting our process with them, our visa has finally been granted and I cannot thank Sue and Darren enough! We had a very complex skill assessment stage but without Sue helping us with what we had to do, it wouldn’t of been possible without her.

I would highly recommend Visa Go to anyone applying for an Australian visa.Sam HodsonSam Hodson ★★★★★ Visa Go were fantastic at helping me secure my partner visa .

Kimberley was very helpful and supportive throughout the process and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone!Mary PegasiouMary Pegasiou ★★★★★ Kimberley and Darren helped myself and my partner with our Australian residencies and we couldn’t be happier. Even through lockdown Kimberley was attentive and on the ball at all times, my visa process took no time at all!

Highly recommend!!!Jake ForrestJake Forrest ★★★★★ I used Visa Go to apply for my Partner Visa and I have been super impressed with the service and turnaround time.

I can’t recommend the service enough!Ross FindlayRoss Findlay ★★★★★ My agent with Visa go was Kimberley Chatt. She was fantastic the whole way through. Always had very professional and prompt responses whenever I had a query. I felt like she went above and beyond to help me understand each step of the process. I now have my permanent partner visa in Australia and couldn't be happier. She turned what can often be a long arduous ordeal into a streamlined easy process.

Thanks again Kimberley!Samantha MillsSamantha Mills ★★★★★ My Husband and I used Visa Go Australia to support us through our Visa process. Our Visa advisor was Sue, Sue was great from start to finish, always so helpful and replied to our emails and calls so quickly.
Our visa process took 11 months (as expected for the visa we applied for) and Sue kept us on track and up to date all the time, extremely organised and always happy to help and provide us with her support.
I highly recommend Visa Go Australia, we couldn't imagine trying to go through this process without Sues help and guidance. Samantha Mills
Lorna BalfourLorna Balfour ★★★★★ Visa Go provided an excellent service. They were professional, helpful and efficient throughout the visa process and Sue, my designated migration agent, always had words of encouragement to help deal with the tedium of the paperwork. I am a professional and I thought using a migration agent was probably unnecessary. I thought I could manage the paperwork process myself. However, it quickly became clear to me that an agent's assistance was very necessary. Visa Go's knowledge was invaluable and I have no hesitation in recommending their services.Lisa GarsideLisa Garside ★★★★★ Using Visa Go Australia was the BEST decision we made when planning for our move to Australia. My husband is British and needed an offshore 309 spouse visa. Sue made our life so much easier supporting us every step of the way. I was impressed with her knowledge, every question I had was answered quickly and with confidence. There is a huge amount of time and effort your agent does in the background so that you don't have to. I always felt like a priority and that I was in the safe hands of an expert. Not to mention how kind and friendly the agents are. I would highly recommend this company to anyone - 5 star service!John DochertyJohn Docherty ★★★★★ Amazing Darren and deanne changed our lives helping us Emmigrate to a new country.Chaz ManningChaz Manning ★★★★★ Visa Go Australia were integral in getting our visas granted, without them the whole process would have been so difficult for us to get everything right, they were always so happy to help no matter how silly the question. They split the process up in to manageable chunks and made sure that we were always ready for the next step which really minimised the stress of it all.
Can't thank Darren and Kimberley enough.

Jonas ForshawJonas Forshaw ★★★★★ Me and my partner Cynthia have successfully been granted our partner visa for Australia and could definitely not have done it without all of the never ending help from Sue. Any visa process is always stressful, yet they helped so much with any problems we had along the way. I can't recommend this company enough! If you're worried about applying for a visa, you can rest assured that with their experience and knowledge, partnered with how lovely they always are even with the smallest of questions that you will be having your visa granted in no time with minimal stress!
Thank so much for all your help!
Jonas & Cynthia
Victoria PullingerVictoria Pullinger ★★★★★ We were recently granted a PR Visa and the work that Sue puts in in the background is commendable. Darren and Sue have been great to work with over the last 2 years and we were kept up to date the whole way.
I would highly recommend anyone applying for a visa to do it through them.
They made sure we had all the information at every step of they way and nothing was ever a problem if I called or emailed.
Thank you so much to all of the team!
Denny, Victoria and Caitlyn
