Hi all,
On 17th November 2015 I gained a 489 provisional regional visa to live and work in the far south coast, and after a long hard struggle to gain enough funds we are finally leaving on the 10th July 2016,just in time to validate the visas before the cut off period of November this year.
The reason for me being on here is that all though I understand I have to live in this region for 2 of the 4 years, and work in it for 1 year before I can apply for a permanent visa, I just wondering if I have to find work in the chosen skill I used to obtain the visa, or can I find work in other rolls ?
Regards
Dean

Hi old sparkles,
Thank you for the reply, it has clarified what I thought about work options once I arrive in my chosen region.
