In November 2019, the Australian Government announced changes to our immigration program to strengthen our economy and boost regional areas. Australia’s regional migration program consists of:

• 2 skilled regional provisional visas that provide a pathway to permanent residence
• a skilled regional permanent resident visa (from November 2022)
• additional points under the Skilled Migration Points Test for skilled migrants nominated to live and work in regional Australia
• more options for international students who graduate from regional universities
