Few Expected Outcomes
Realignment of allotted places for regional visas such as the subclass 489 visas
This regional visa provides experienced workers to reside and work in regional or less-population growth urban areas of Australia for up to four years. This visa also grants a PR pathway for immigrants who have shown commitment to remaining in a regional area. New invitation round announced on the website of Home Affairs for August 2018 showed that a mere ten invitations were declared for this subclass. It is a sharp decline related to previous years’ figures where nearly 250 invitations were declared for the same month.
Expansion of Regional Occupation List (R.O.L)
This list intended to add professions that are in demand in regional areas. ROL is modified on a daily basis on the proposal by the Department Jobs and Small Businesses. Migrants can obtain ROL if their profession is located in a regional area (way to subclass 482 and 186 visas). The Australian Jobs and Small Business is a Department of Australia Government charged with the duty for the job, services of job and the labor market, workplace associations, deregulation, and small business.
