Regional Certifying Bodies

A source of assistance for employers to sponsor permanent or temporary skilled workers. Through knowledge of the local labour market, Regional Certifying Bodies (RCBs) certify a nomination before it is submitted to the department for approval. There are over 50 gazetted RCBs covering regional areas in all Australian States and Territories. A list of all RCBs is available.
