I have a question with the WA GRAD STREAM.
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 kahit may 1 year contract na and doesn't 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.

Ma'am @RheaMARN1171933
May nabasa po ako na isa sa requirement po for 190/491 WA state sponsorship, dapat may atleast 1 yr work contract.... pano po kaya yun, base po sa mga job posts kailangan may working rights naman sa Oz.

You need to be here to secure a job offer. They would seldom offer someone a job who is offshore and of course doesn’t have working rights unless they badly need to fill in the role, in which case they’d likely sponsor you instead. You can come here on a student visa and try your luck applying for a job. A lot of people do that. The Covid pandemic temporarily removed the work restrictions of students so you can do full time work at the moment and prove your worth to the company.

Hi Sir @matthewoz, is this applicable in all parts of WA, including Perth? I'm about to study in Perth on the first quarter of 2023. Will definitely try my luck to acquire an eng'g job months after I get there. Sir, do you think it's possible to be sponsored by the company which would secure me a sound PR visa 2 years after my studies?

Hi Matthew,
So it means, acquiring a student visa in WA is the recommended pathway? 😵
