Due to the skilled labour shortage in regional Western Australia, Regional Sponsored Migration Schemes permanent visas (RSMS Visa) and Temporary Business Long Stay visas (457 Visa) can assist Wheatbelt employers who are unable to fill skilled positions from the local labour market. The RSMS Visa is a permanent migration program and the 457 Visa is a temporary program allowing for up to a 4 year stay.
Information on these visas can be obtained through the Department of Immigration and Citizenship. The State Migration Centre is also a helpful resource in searching for jobs and sponsors.
