THREE REASONS TO STUDY IN A REGIONAL AREA:

In addition to the $5000 bursary to study, work and live in regional WA for eligible students, here’s three reasons to choose a regional area as your study destination:

MIGRATION PATHWAYS

Depending on your level of study, you may be entitled to special post-study graduate and regional migration visas, faster visa processing times, and more points on the General Skilled Migration Points Test. You might also gain access to regional skilled occupations lists, which offer more skilled migration career options than non-regional lists.

LOWER COST OF LIVING

Compared to bigger Australian cities, many regional areas provide a more affordable cost of living. Regional cities such as Perth usually have smaller populations, more affordable accommodation and it can sometimes be much easier to find work in a regional area.

WORK OPPORTUNITIES

There are usually fewer people going for the same positions as you. You may also build connections with people in your regional area who can help you with your job search.

WA also has plenty of part time or seasonal jobs for during your studies. These jobs are often in fruit picking, farm work and hospitality.
