RDA-Riverina welcomes overseas skilled workers to apply for regional nomination. Skill shortages exist in many parts of Australia, in particular regional Australia, which allows RDA-Riverina to nominate skilled workers to come to the Riverina. This is just one way the organisation is committed to addressing skill shortages and to enhance business development in the region.

The long-term objective is to encourage these people to stay in the region. This visa is valid for up to four years and after two years of living in regional Australia, including at least 12 months full time working in regional Australia, the nominated skilled workers can then apply for a permanent resident visa.

The following message is displayed on the RDA Northern Inland site:

We will be accepting applications as soon as we are notified by the NSW State Government that nominations are being processed. We have been advised that the NSW Government is likely to re-commence nominating by 22 July 2019.
