WA 190 closely related occupation

[DXW059]

Hello, 

I wondered if someone could help confirm that my understanding of this is correct please:

For the WA 190 General Stream the criteria include the following:

1. have an occupation listed as available and eligible for the intended visa subclass on the Western Australian Skilled Migration Occupation List (WASMOL)4

2. be able to claim and give evidence of work experience in the Expression of Interest – this requirement can be met through: at least one year of Australian work experience in the nominated (or closely related5) occupation over the last 10 years; or at least three years of overseas work experience in the nominated (or closely related5) occupation over the last 10 years; 

 

They define closely related occupation as sharing the same 4 digits of the Anzsco code. 

 

Therefore could I for example nominate 253913 when all my experience, job offer and skills assessment would be in 253999?

 

Thank you in advance

Thank you, what is actually accepted as the skills assessment though? It’s vague on the department website. 
to nominate for example 253913 does one need recognition as a specialist in Australia (ie in this example RANZCOG) or can general medical registration alone satisfy the skills assessment for all medical practitioner occupations?

Yes, but please do not take this as a considered professioanl opinion relavant to your circumstances.

Thank you, I appreciate your help and completely understand that a definitive answer is difficult to offer without a full review of my circumstances.

Step 1 - examine the patient.

Hi, did you ever any luck applying for a WA EOI with an ANZSCO 253999 job offer? Or any more information you found out on the topic? We're in the same position.

Hi, I'm afraid I'm not that far along in the process yet, it was more planning for the future. From the information I could find as long as the first four digits of the ANZSCO code are the same as your job offer/experience then you can apply under a 'closely-related occupation'.  It would be great if you could let us know how you get on. Best of luck!
