Skilled Regional NSW Sponsorship
Visa sub-class 489
Please note that new 489 applications must now have a total of 65 points, including the 10 from regional state nomination.
Regional Development Australia Northern Inland (RDANI) does not currently have an expression of interest or pre-approval process. If you are seeking regional sponsorship for the Skilled – Regional Sponsored (provision) sub-class 489 visa from this region of NSW, it is up to you or your agent to ensure you meet the requirements of the assessment process. Payment of the assessment fee is required up front and is non-refundable – this is because it is a fee for our assessment service, not an outcome.
Download and view the list of occupations RDANI is currently supporting below. If there is any difference between this list and the one provided on the NSW Government website, this local list is correct and must be referred to.
Please check this list to see if additional conditions are required to be met in relation to an occupation by this region. Where work experience is required, voluntary work is not accepted.
This occupation list is updated according to the region’s need and the applications received and may be updated at any time.
RDA Northern Inland reserves the right to refuse refund requests for unsuccessful applications, as the fee is for the assessment service provided and not a positive outcome.
Allow up to 6 weeks for processing by RDA-NI – this timeframe can vary. Please contact us if your application is genuinely urgent.
The following occupations will be removed from the RDA Northern Inland Occupation List on Wednesday 7 November, 2018. Applications received before this time will be considered BUT they must be complete applications, with all requirements met or a negative outcome may result:
