Regional Skilled Visa Tools

Australia’s Regional Skilled Visas

Australia’s Regional Visas allow visa holders to live and work in ‘Regional Australia’ (any area outside Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane) under a more broad list of occupations, with a direct pathway to Permanent Residence after three years of work in a regional area.

Eligible businesses may also be able to access priority visa processing for their employees. To assist HR teams, we have developed several visa tools below, which you may find helpful.

Q&A Video | The Regional 494 Visa Application Process

The Regional 494 Visa is a good alternative to the commonly used 482 Visa because it provides a direct PR pathway for eligible employees in Perth, the Gold Coast and regional/remote areas.

However, applying for a 494 Visa is more complex and time consuming as it requires a mandatory Skills Assessment and approval from a Regional Certifying Body (RCB). Watch our 4 minute explainer video for our insights.

Q&A Video | Regional 494 Visa PR pathways

The Regional 494 Visa provides a direct pathway to Permanent Residence (PR) through the Subclass 191 Visa after 3 years of regional work. This is a key benefit compared to the limited PR pathways available through the 482 Visa program.

Businesses outside Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane can access the regional migration program as an alternative PR option for employees. Here’s our insights in a 3 minute explainer video.

Q&A Video | How the Regional 494 Visa Compares to the 482 Visa

While the new 494 Regional Visa now provides businesses in Perth, the Gold Coast and regional/remote areas greater flexibility to sponsor overseas talent, how does it compare to the commonly used 482 Visa?

Here’s our insights in a 5 minute explainer video.

Regional Skilled Visa Tools | DAMA’s in Australia

Is a Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA) available to you?

If your business has labour requirements in regional operations, you may be interested in finding out about DAMA’s being established across Australia.

DAMA’s allow employers to sponsor skilled and semi-skilled visa holders in designated regional areas.
