The Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS) enables regional employers to employ skilled overseas nationals to fill genuine, full time positions where it can be shown that these positions cannot be filled from within the local labour market.
The whole of the Northern Territory is considered regional for the purposes of RSMS.
There are three RSMS streams, the Temporary Residence Transition stream, the Agreement stream and the Direct Entry stream. Each of these streams has different eligibility criteria, requirements and application processes.
The Northern Territory (NT) Department of Business (Workforce Growth NT / Skilled Migration Unit) has been appointed by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) as the Regional Certifying Body (RCB) for all RSMS Direct Entry stream nominations by NT employers.
NT RCB assessment is not required for RSMS nominations under the Temporary Residence Transition stream.
