Regional Development Australia (RDA) offices

Regional Development Australia (RDA) offices will assist NSW treasury with NSW Subclass 491 nominating applications. Under this new arrangement, each RDA will be responsible for setting their own eligible skilled occupations for nomination and accepting and assessing nomination applications.

Information on applying for nomination through participating RDAs, including eligible skilled occupations, will be made available on their respective websites.
