Following the removal of a number of occupations for employer-sponsored visas, the Department of Home Affairs
This means that in addition to the current occupation list, regional employers have access to additional occupations listed below.
It is indeed a sigh of relief, especially in the Agriculture and Marine industries.
Are you an employer who wishes to sponsor any of the below occupations? Please contact Seek Migration today.
