Regional Certifying Body Advice

The Department of Home Affairs require Regional Certifying Body (RCB) advice for employer nomination applications for this visa. Skilled & Business Migration is the RCB for South Australia.

Regional Certifying Body Role

The role of a Regional Certifying Body (RCB) is to provide advice to the Department of Home Affairs on SESR nomination applications. Employer nominations must always be considered by an RCB located in the same state where the nominated position exists.

If you are a local business seeking to sponsor a migrant on this visa, you must lodge an application with Skilled & Business Migration for Regional Certifying Body advice. Please see the RCB advice requirements for more details.
