Why Perth Is Different: It Counts as Regional
Home Affairs classes Perth as a designated regional area (Category 2, "Cities and Major Regional Centres"). That opens visas you can't use in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane:
- 491 Skilled Work Regional: state nomination or family sponsorship adds 15 points, and you can live in Perth.
- 494 Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional: a Perth employer can sponsor you, with permanent residence through the 191 after 3 years.
- Regional incentives: priority processing of regional visas and access to more occupations.
Western Australian state nomination for the 190 and 491 has its own occupation lists and criteria.
How to Check a Migration Agent
Anyone who gives immigration assistance in Australia for a fee must be a registered migration agent or an Australian legal practitioner. Before you pay anyone:
- Ask for their MARN (Migration Agents Registration Number).
- Look them up on the official OMARA register and check their registration is current.
- Ask for a written service agreement and the fees before work starts.
Every agent we introduce you to is registered on the OMARA register, and we show their MARN.
