Hamilton Watts is able to address the specific needs of
regional and rural employers and skilled migrants seeking to
settle in regional Australia. Our regional service is managed by
Claire Ritchie servicing clients and businesses operating in
the Riverina and Murray regions and regional clients
Australia wide.
Claire Ritchie has over 9 years experience as a Registered
Migration Agent (RMA No. 9792694) assisting employers across
diverse industry sectors covering; business advisory,
financial services, mining and resources,
telecommunications, IT, government, defence, healthcare,
hospitality, education, manufacturing and trades. Claire’s
expertise also extends to Independent Skilled migration
visas, Business Migration visas and Family Stream visa
categories.
Increasingly regional employers and organisations are
turning to skilled migration to address shortages in various
professional, associate professional and trade occupations.
A number of new initiatives and visas exist specifically to
assist employers, professionals and business migrants in
non-metropolitan areas. These visa categories have flexible,
and in some instances lowered threshold criteria, in
recognition of the difficulty often faced by regional
Australia in attracting the necessary skills and business
talent to their communities.
For migration and visa purposes the definition of
“regional” Australia may vary depending on the target visa.
However generally anywhere in Australia except Sydney,
Newcastle, Wollongong, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Perth,
Melbourne, and in some instances the ACT, is defined as
regional.
Following are a number of visa options and initiatives for
regional based employers seeking to fill skilled vacancies
and targeting business professionals and individuals
committed to living and working in regional Australia. The
visa categories listed are not exhaustive and for a full
assessment of your visa or migration options please contact
Claire Ritchie to discuss your individual circumstances. |
