Far South Coast

Occupations currently eligible for nomination in the Far South Coast,

NSW Region
Updated 27.03.2018
This skills list is subject to change without notice.

Regional Development Australia - Far South Coast (RDA FSC) as the Regional Certifying Body, welcomes
applications for Skilled Regional Sponsored (provisional) Visas, subclass 489, from qualified applicants in
the professions listed below.

RDA FSC assesses each application on an individual basis with reference to the region’s employment
needs. Certain occupations will have nomination caps.

In no way is a nomination a guarantee of employment upon arrival in Australia. Applicants are responsible
for their own employment search and settlement within the region.

Please note** Applicants who apply for the Skilled Regional Sponsored Visa are expected to live and work
in the Far South Coast region of NSW. This includes the Local Government Areas (LGAs); Shoalhaven,
Eurobodalla and Bega Valley. This does not include Illawarra (Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama).

All Applicants MUST have the relevant skills assessment and should investigate which professional
registration/accreditations they may require to work in NSW and Australia.

Applicants should note that nomination by RDA FSC and the NSW Department of Industry does not
guarantee that a visa will be granted by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP).
