Regional Employer Sponsored Visas

Regional employer-sponsored visas help Australian regional businesses address skilled labour shortages while providing skilled overseas workers with opportunities to live and work in regional Australia.

Hartman Immigration advises employers and skilled workers on a broad range of regional migration pathways, including:

• Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (subclass 494) visas
• Permanent Residence (Skilled Regional) (subclass 191) visas
• Regional sponsorship requirements
• Permanent residence pathways
• Regional occupation eligibility
• Compliance obligations for sponsoring employers

Regional migration pathways can provide significant advantages for both employers and visa applicants, including access to a broader range of eligible occupations, priority opportunities in designated regional areas, and clear pathways to permanent residence.

We work closely with businesses across regional Australia to develop practical, commercially focused migration strategies that support long-term workforce planning while helping skilled workers build their future in Australia.
