On 19 July 2011 the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship announced the inclusion of Perth in the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS). The minister also agreed to include Perth as a regional area for family sponsored applications through the regional General Skilled Migration (GSM) programs.
The department has commenced work on these changes and will make further announcements once they are in place.
The Department of Immigration and Citizenship has not released full details of Perth's regional status, it is expected that this will be announced in mid September.
Dear sir or madam,
I am a holder of skilled regional sponsored provisional visa(subclass 475 which is subjected to condition 8539:must live/work/study in regional area of Australia).
At present I have received several invitations of professional job interview from mining-relevant company based in Perth.I was informed that Perth will be reclassified as regional area(referring to the following links from immi: http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/_pdf/regional-perth-aug-2011.pdf).
I just want to double-check with you,am I eligible to work in Perth with my subclass 475 visa?
Thanks heaps for your early reply.
Regards

Dear Lin
Skilled Migration WA's understanding is that you will not be able to live and work in Perth if you already hold a 475 visa. For full confirmation please contact the Department of Immigration and Citizenship on 131-881
