There are three pathways available within this visa subclass for skilled workers to live and work in regional Australia. This visa opens up your path to getting the permanent visa subclass 887, even for the subsequent entry pathway. 

Overview of Skilled Regional (Provisional) Visa – Subclass 489

As a skilled worker, you can apply for any of the streams available within this subclass to live and work in regional Australia. Regional Australia means any of the areas enlisted here. The biggest benefit is that you can bring your family over too (the family member’s visa type is also included within this subclass). Let’s take a look at the three pathways, their eligibility criterias and benefits. The biggest advantage for all three streams is that you can bring dependents with you and that the 489 visa to permanent residency path is very much possible.
