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.
Nomination criteria
Despite establishing several RDA offices for NSW subclass 491 nominating applications, nomination criteria will still remain consistent across all regions:
You must meet the all criteria in one of the following three streams to be eligible for NSW nomination:
Living and working in regional NSW;
recently completed study in regional NSW; or
living and working outside of regional NSW
- At least five years skilled employment experience (offshore Applicants)
