Regional Australia

Regional Australia is a definition of the Australian Government designed to promote some areas of the country, especially for immigration. People who complete specified work, that being plant and animal cultivation, fishing and pearling, tree farming and felling, mining, or construction, in these areas can be granted extra points when applying for a resident visa. Working there while holding a working holiday visa may allow the person to have their visa renewed.
