Limits of the record
  • The official source does not state the complete answer to this question for this route.

What are the few decisive professional characteristics of the pathway: occupation, qualifications, experience, salary, skill level, shortage status, labour-market condition or equivalent?

Eligibility rests on family membership: the pathway is for a member of the family unit of someone who holds a Skilled Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 489) or a subclass 475, 487, 495 or 496 visa. The holder must live and work in a specified regional area of Australia, which depends on whether the primary visa holder was nominated by a state or territory government or sponsored by an eligible relative. The official source does not state an occupation, qualification, work experience or salary requirement for the applicant.

What work does the permission allow? Is the holder tied to an employer, occupation or sector? Can family accompany where clearly established?

The visa restricts the holder to living, working and studying in a specified regional area; the official source does not state whether the holder is tied to an employer or occupation. Members of the family unit can be included in the application when lodging it, and a dependent child can be added after lodgement but before a decision. Family members applying must meet health and character requirements.

How long is the permission normally granted for, how is it renewed, and what longer-term residence direction exists if officially stated?

This is a temporary visa; the holder can stay until the visa held by their family member ends. It cannot be extended. A holder who wants to stay in Australia permanently might be eligible for a Skilled Regional visa (subclass 887).
