Attracting skilled migrants to regional areas: what does it take
journal contribution
posted on 2017-05-04, 03:38 authored by Hugo, Graeme, Khoo, Siew-Ean, McDonald, PeterFor some time government policy has tried to encourage permanent migrants to settle outside the major cities in so-called regional areas. This policy has met with limited success (even though the term ‘regional’ has often included Melbourne). In 2003 the policy was extended to temporary migrants entering on 457 work visas. A large survey of principal visa holders on 457 visas suggests that there are a number of conditions that would have to be met if this policy were to be successful.
