‘Western Australia has temporarily closed applications for State nomination for the Business Innovation and Investment provisional visas’

On 8 Jan 2018, we published an update saying that Western Australia had temporarily suspended nomination applications for visa subclass 132 (Business Talent).

Subsequently, WA’s Small Business Development Corporation website made the following announcement:

Please note, applications for Western Australian State nomination for business and investor provisional visas are closed until further notice.
Western Australia has temporarily closed applications for State nomination for the Business Innovation and Investment provisional visas pending the release of additional places by the Department of Home Affairs. We value your interest in our program and encourage you to check this website regularly for updates. We hope to reopen the program shortly.
