What this visa lets you do
This visa allows you and your family to
live in Australia and work permanently in a regional area. A regional area is
anywhere other than the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Newcastle, Sydney, Wollongong and
Melbourne.
Before you apply
You can apply for this visa only after
you have been nominated by an employer in regional Australia – this means an
area that is not in the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Newcastle, Sydney, Wollongong and
Melbourne.
If you do not have an employer who will
nominate you, you can submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) through
SkillSelect. Prospective employers and state and territory governments can then
view your details and decide whether to nominate you for skilled migration.
Your EOI must specify which stream you want to be considered for. No
supporting documents are required at this time. You can lodge your EOI while
you are in or outside Australia
