Illawarra,Wollongong, Port Kembla, Dapto, Albion Park.
The Illawarra is inviting skilled migrants to apply for sponsorship to live and work in the region under the Skilled – Independent Regional (Provisional) Visa scheme. The SIR visa allows you to live and work in regional Australia with the option to apply for permanent residence after a period of time.

Regional employers are also welcome to seek our assistance in sponsoring skilled migrants for skilled positions which cannot be filled using the local labour market. Positions can be permanent or temporary.

The Illawarra Regional Development Board is able to provide this sponsorship assistance by authority of their role of gazetted Regional Certifying Body (RCB), appointed by the Minister for Immigration for the purposes of the Migration Act. To get further information on our role as a RCB go to the Regional Certifying Body tab.

If you are a Illawarra Employer go to the :Illawarra Employers tab.
