Study and work in a regional area

Have you ever heard of Regional Zones in Australia and the importance of these when planning an experience? In November 2019, the Australian Federal Government published a NEW MEASURE measure that benefits anyone undertaking an experience in regional areas in Australia. This had the objective of not only strengthening Australia’s economy through immigration, but also with the aim of boosting the Regional Zones .

Did you know that Perth is considered a Regional Zone?

Regional Zones are areas that the Australian Government has an interest in promoting. These are areas that do not have a large population of inhabitants and that the Australian government promotes due to the high demand for professionals, i.e., many professional vacancies to fill.

Perth is currently included in “Regional Cities & Areas”. . For this reason, when deciding in which city to carry out the study experience, it is advisable to consider whether the city is included in the “Regional Cities & Areas”. “Regional Cities & Areas because of the attractive migration benefits that can be obtained.

By studying in a “Regional City/Area” one obtains 2 benefits:

• (1) 1 or 2 extra years for the Graduate Visa once you finish your studies, depending on the Regional Area Category. It would be, to give a reference: 2 years of Master + 3 years of Graduate Visa full-time working conditions. As it is well shared in the previous point, for Bachelor Degrees and Master Degrees 2 years of Graduate Visa are granted, for Masters by research, there are 3 and for a PhD there are 4, we would simply add one more year to each one of them; and

• (2) Studying in regional cities also adds points for the Skill & Profile Test for permanent migration visas. If you plan to study in a Regional Area in Australia, you should take into account that a diploma you obtain in the 2-year course of your choice will add 5 extra points. In addition to this, for choosing an academic institution located in these areas, you receive 5 more points. It would be 10 extra points that would be added to the path to permanent residency . Let’s remember that the minimum number of points to be obtained is 65. between different personal and professional attributes. Once these 65 points have been met, you enter the pool of candidates who have access to the Australian Government’s ‘Annual Occupational Quotas’. These are called ‘Expression of Interest’ and are limited. Those candidates with more points are more likely to be professionally invited to apply for visas.
