Full list of Regional Certifying Bodies
The role of a RCB is to provide advice to the Department on the Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (SESR) visa, Employer Sponsored stream nomination applications, using local area knowledge to advise on whether the nominee for the position will be paid at least the annual market salary rate for the occupation.
Employer Sponsored stream nominations must be accompanied by advice from an RCB; however, this advice can be provided before or after lodgement of the Employer Sponsored stream nomination application with the Department of Home Affairs. The Department cannot approve a nomination where advice from an RCB has not been provided.
Departmental decision makers will assess Employer Sponsored stream nominations against a range of criteria, including but not limited to those that RCBs provide advice on. Local knowledge about businesses operating in the specific RCB’s jurisdiction adds value to the assessment process.
Commerce Ballarat Members: $480.00 +GST
