The skill migration program in WA has outlined clear requirements for applicants. Importantly, thereโ€™s a waiver of the $200 application fee previously set, easing the financial burden on applicants. Furthermore, WA is prioritizing applicants residing within the state, although equal opportunities are maintained for interstate and offshore applicants.
