Regional Australia
Regional Australia is a definition of the Australian Government designed to promote some areas of the country, especially for immigration. People who complete specified work, that being plant and animal cultivation, fishing and pearling, tree farming and felling, mining, or construction, in these areas can be granted extra points when applying for a resident visa. Working there while holding a working holiday visa may allow the person to have their visa renewed.Scope
According to the Australian Department of Home Affairs, all of Australia outside of the Australian Capital Territory, Sydney, Newcastle, the Central Coast, Wollongong, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Melbourne, and Perth is considered to be "rural and regional Australia".
