Regional Occupation List – Boosting Migration to Regional Australia

The Regional Occupation List (ROL) promotes skilled migration to regional areas (outside major cities like Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane) to support balanced economic development and population growth. The ROL is based on the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) and currently includes around 77 occupations. It targets roles that are vital to rural and regional economies.

Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491)

This visa encourages migrants to live and work in designated regional areas, with state or territory nomination and incentives such as priority processing or additional points. Eg. Aquaculture Farmer (ANZSCO 121111), Beef Cattle Farmer (ANZSCO 121312), Dentist (ANZSCO 252312)

The Regional Occupation List (ROL) can be a smart pathway to faster Permanent Residency (PR), as regional commitments often lead to stronger permanent outcomes after the provisional period.

True Blue Migration offers a free initial visa assessment, and can help you target regional opportunities, secure state or territory nominations, and manage commitment requirements for faster, more secure permanent residency outcomes.
