Build a Life in WA Incentive
Up to $10,000 in incentives available for building and construction professionals and tradespeople to move to WA.
Western Australia’s in-demand construction sector needs skilled building and construction professionals to support industry demands.
There’s no better time to make the move to WA to enjoy our sunny shores and lifestyle, while working in the vibrant building and construction industry.
Due to the high demand for skilled workers in construction jobs, the WA Government is offering support to suitably qualified building and construction professionals, to move to WA from other Australian states and territories and New Zealand, through the Build a Life in WA Incentive.
How does the Build a Life in WA Incentive work?
From January 2025, suitably qualified Australian citizens and residents from all Australian states and territories, as well as New Zealand citizens eligible for a Special Category Visa (Subclass 444) on arrival in Australia, are able to apply for the $10,000 Build a Life in WA Incentive.
