Definition of Regional Areas for Skilled Regional (Provisional) subclass 489 visa and Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) subclass 491 visa

There are so many lists to choose from out there it gets more than a little confusing!

Below is a table that helps you clearly see which list is applicable to your circumstances as the holder of a 489 or 491 visa in Australia.

When your visa is granted to you is the fundamental date. This date will decide for you which list applies to you. So far we have lists for 3 different dates and there can always be more coming. If a new list comes in and your visa is granted you still have to stick with the list that existed when your visa was given to you.

In some cases, this may disappointing but on the other hand, if some regions were to be removed, then that is advantageous for you.
