Construction Visa Subsidy Program

The Construction Visa Subsidy Program provides grants to support skilled migration visa pathways for the construction industry in Australia. It aims to address skill shortages by subsidising visa-related costs for overseas workers and employers in construction roles, with grants available to offset visa application fees, migration agent fees, and relocation expenses. The program is administered by the WA Department of Training and Workforce Development and targets workers in construction occupations.

Up to $10,000 in grant payments to support visa pathways; potential access to a global talent pool and streamlined migration process for eligible workers and employers.

Employers must demonstrate a genuine demand for qualified construction workers, and visa applicants must meet occupation-specific requirements including education, work experience, and language ability. Milestone payments are reviewed against program eligibility criteria and evidentiary requirements.

Employers submit eligibility for the subsidy; visa applicants must meet occupation and regulatory requirements; refer to DTWD Migration Services for program details.
