Through a series of events, the Roadshow brings together employers, government representatives and service providers, giving attendees direct access to career opportunities, migration information and relocation support.
The Roadshow returns to the United Kingdom and Ireland in March 2027, connecting prospective migrants with the people, opportunities and information needed to make South Australia home.
