The State Nominated Migration Program (SNMP) will be paused from 1 July 2025 pending confirmation of 2025-26 places from the Department of Home Affairs.
New invitations to apply for State nomination will not be issued during this time.
WA Migration Services will continue to receive and assess SNMP applications.
Successful applications will be nominated when 2025-26 SNMP places become available.
Those who have visas expiring should seek professional advice from an Authorised Migration Representative and ensure that they remain lawful during their stay in Australia. A comprehensive list of Registered Migration Agents is available at www.mara.gov.au(opens in a new tab).
