2019年10月17日，西澳官方公布西澳留学毕业生州担保申请将会变得更加容易。据2019年10月16日西澳州总理Mark McGowan宣称，西澳留学生州担保要求将会放宽，之前西澳留学生州担保只对在西澳境内的大学完成两年制本科级以上课程的留学生，放宽后的政策将允许职教毕业生VET Vocational Education and Training（要求学历为AQF Certificate III及以上）申请西澳毕业生类别州担保，但是不包括技工类职业Trade Occupations。职教学历层次的毕业生将在今年12月西澳发放的邀请中有幸获邀。
The State Nomination Migration Program (SNMP) Graduate stream will soon be more accessible for international students who study in Western Australia.On 16 October 2019 Premier Mark McGowan announced that the Graduate Stream of the SNMP will be extended to include vocational education and training (VET) graduates who complete a qualification in Western Australia at Certificate III level or above, excluding trade occupations (unless approved for delivery to international students). The first invitation round to include VET graduates will be issued in December 2019.
此次政策放宽，其他利好的方面主要有以下两个：
- 之前要求的在西澳完成了两年学习，可以包括Higher Education, VET以及预科英语课程ELICOS
- 对于西澳留学毕业生的工作经历和offer要求也将降低，由以前要求必须同时有12个月工作经验以及12个月offer降低为只需要有6个月工作经验或者6个月的offer
Other changes to the SNMP Graduate stream are:
- studies in Higher Education, VET and/or English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students (ELICOS) will all count towards the requirement to study for two years in Western Australia.
- work experience and job offer requirements will also be reduced. Graduates will need to either demonstrate six months of work experience or a six month employment contract, but not both. Currently, international students need to have 12 months of work experience plus a job offer for 12 months.
A new Graduate Occupation List and updated eligibility criteria for the Graduate stream will be published on the Migration portal prior to the December invitation round.
在今年12月发放邀请之前，西澳将在官网公布西澳留学毕业生的最新州担保要求，目前仍参考原来的申请要求执行，详见飞出国 2018-2019 年度最新 WA 西澳留学毕业生紧缺职业清单。
