Australia Regional Visas Changes explained by Interstaff How Australia's Regional Visa Changes Impact Employers Two Skilled work visas header with black left fade overlay

Regional Visa Q&A Series

Australia’s new Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (SESR) 494 Visa commenced on 16 November 2019 and now provides employers in Perth, the Gold Coast and regional/remote areas greater access to sponsor skilled overseas workers for roles that are difficult to fill locally. 

 

Employers benefit from the introduction of the new visa with access to:

  • Over 400 more eligible occupations to sponsor visa holders;
  • Priority visa processing;
  • Visa sponsorship across regional Australia (including Perth and the Gold Coast) in addition to Designated Area Migration Agreements (DAMA’s);
  • A more cost-effective Permanent Residence pathway to attract and retain skilled overseas workers than through existing employer-sponsored pathways.

 

Despite these benefits, the Regional Visa process will be complex, and both employers and visa applicants will need to provide substantial evidence to satisfy application requirements – such as the need for skills assessments, approval from a regional certifying body and other requirements.

In an online Q&A Video Series, Managing Director of Interstaff migration consultancy, Sheila Woods will respond to questions submitted by HR Professionals and Business Owners about the impact of the new Regional 494 Visa for businesses.
