Mount Isa Regional Certifying Body

Commerce North West is an official Regional Certifying Body (RCB) for North West Queensland for the Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) Visa or SESR.

This visa is designed to help employers in regional or low growth areas of Australia fill skilled vacancies that they have been unable to fill through the local labour market by sponsoring skilled employees from overseas.

The Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional visa has a three stage process that includes certification by an RCB such as Commerce North West. Our role is to ensure:

SESR:

• the position meets the Annual Market Salary Rate

How to Apply

The following information is sent to Commerce North West:

• Form 1404. Forms are available on the DIAC website.
• Position description.
• Employment contract or letter of appointment (including the applicable award).
• Salary rates of similarly qualified Australian employees currently employed or evidence of market salary. Please note proof must be supplied that the salary offered exceeds the award rate and is of a comperable amount to other people in the same sort of position in either the same or other local business. 

Application Fees

A processing fee of $110 for member businesses or $132 for non members GST inclusive (non-refundable) is required at this stage. Payment can be made by cheque when submitting documentation or by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). Commerce North West then processes and certifies or rejects the application.

Please note, that certification of a nomination by the Commerce North West does not guarantee that it will be approved by DIAC.
