West Aussie Migration

The state allocations for the subclass 190 and subclass 491 have been released for this financial year and they are significantly lower than what was previously expected.

We can only hope that this is an initial allocation and more places will be released later in the financial year.

In the meantime it will be significantly more competitive for anyone hoping to migrate so the more points the better!
