I have a question with the WA GRAD STREAM STATE NOMINATION.
I am confused re the 'work experience' waived for graduates who studied a masters degree for 2 years. But to get a positive skills assessment from VETASSESS on the nominated occupation, 1 year work experience post qualification is needed.
Confusing even with 1 year contract and does not matter if the WA masters degree is not relevant to the occupation.
Can you still lodge an EOI without a skills assessment from the assessing authority? All requirements are supposedly met except for the no work experience.

At this time of re-opening you will need to submit a NEW EOI as we will not be selecting any previously submitted or updated EOIs prior to this date.

Hi, Kapag ba nag lodge ng EOI sa SkillSelect for 190 and 489, need din ba pumunta directly sa website ng state na inapplayan mo and mag fill out ng Nomination Form? Or wait muna na icontact nung State for pre-invite bago mag fill out ng form sa website nila?

> @pc3 share ko lng experience nmin ng wife ko with u, as we got state sponsorship thru graduate stream ng WA. Ng aral sya ng masters in accounting d2 s wa and its true n waived ung 1 year experience. lahat kc ng occupation s list ng wa requires minimum 1 year local experience or 3 years overseas pero pg graduate k ng masters degree d2 waive n nla experience so paassess mo lng is skills which is education mo ng degree (if related) and masters
@pong baka pwedeng matanong anong university? I'm also an Accountant and with the very high points needed to get an invite for Accountants, I'm starting to assess the costs if I'll go with student visa pathway.

@Ban sis ako kakatanggap ko palang ng ITA then 5weeks pregnant ako ngayon. Hindi na muna kami magpapamedical, lodge muna ang application then wait nalang ma CO contact tapos inform si CO na preggy ako. Once manganak ako, ayusin ko na Birth Certificate and Passport ni Baby. Then mag medical na rin.
