villainrage Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Hello, So after a few months I finally got a Skilled Regional (Provisional) Visa (subclass 489). However, I've been having difficulty finding work due to my lack of local experience. I have a relative who might be willing to offer me some help with training or apprenticeship so I can get some local experience for better employability, however my relative is in another state. My question is, since this is not going to be a paid job but more of a training, would this be allowed with my visa type? According to http://www.immi.gov.au/visas/pages/489.aspx - I should "live, work and study in a specified regional area of Australia specified regional area of Australia". There is no mention prohibiting me from going to another state for training, so I wonder if this is allowed. I do not plan to stay there for a long while, just for a couple of months to train if the visa allows me to. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bungo Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Assuming of course that your relative is in the same place as the opportunity that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
