482 To A New Regional Visa

[jameserob]

I'm currently on a 482 Visa. The role I'm doing is on the Short Term List, and so I can't get PR through this pathway. Recently two new regional visas have been announced. The job that I'm currently doing is on the list for the Regional Visas. I currently work in Sydney, however my employer also has offices in a number of regional areas. Is it possible for me to stay with my current employer, but move to one of their regional offices and change from my 482 visa to a Regional Visa?

In theory, yes, if you qualify for the regional visa. I suggest getting some professional advice on this.
