Introduction

The NSW Government has established the Regional Skills Relocation Grant to increase the availability of skilled and experienced workers for businesses setting up in, relocating to, or existing in regional New South Wales.

Grants are available for businesses operating in NSW regional eligible industries. Approved businesses will be reimbursed up to $10,000 to assist with the relocation costs of an eligible skilled worker they employ that moves from a metropolitan area to regional NSW.

Skilled workers can register their details, occupation and interest in the NSW regions they would consider relocating to.

Information provided in this form will be offered to businesses deemed eligible under the Regional Skills Relocation Grant to help match skilled workers with businesses seeking their skills.

Submission of this EoI form does not guarantee a role with a regional NSW business.
