The Cook Government is taking significant steps to strengthen Western Australia’s in-demand construction sector by hosting an event that connects construction businesses with skilled migrants, to get more boots on the ground in this priority workforce.

The Cook Government successfully secured 10,000 skilled migrant places from the Commonwealth Government for the 2024-25 period. Skilling Western Australians remains the State’s priority, but sectors like building and construction still require more workers to meet demand.

To help employers, the State Government’s Construction Visa Subsidy Program (CVSP) offers up to $10,000 in support to offset the cost of employing a skilled migrant. This includes migration agent fees, visa application costs and relocation expenses.
