Re: Designated Area Sponsored
Hiya,
Bumping this one as interesting in the outcome.
I have just applied for the 496 visa (replacement for the 139 designated area visa). I've not heard anything about Melbourne not being a designated area so I'm afraid I can't help with that one. All I do know is that currently the whole of Victoria is a designated area. That's where I'm heading hopefully.
Any agents heard about changes to designated areas?

Re: Designated Area Sponsored
I haven't heard anything about Melbourne being removed from the schedule of "designated areas of Australia" ... but it's always been a puzzle as to why it was included in the first place ... probably a legacy of the old State Premier Jeff Kennett and the success of his lobbying in the 1990s ...
Best regards.
