Workforce

Wimmera Southern Mallee Development works across a number of projects to address workforce shortage needs in the region through a range of migration, training and recruitment support and initiatives.

Remove barriers to study!

Have you ever thought about working in childcare or health care? Or would you like to return to the industry after a break?

Our free and flexible courses are designed for people who face barriers to conventional tertiary study, like being home with young children, living outside of Horsham or needing more support to be able to study.

This study program is designed to work with you to provide practical support – like fuel vouchers, borrowing a laptop, textbooks or extra tutoring.

As part of the training, we’ll liaise with you to arrange work placements in the region and even help connect you to future employment opportunities so you’re well on your way!

This means when you nominate someone for a Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 494) under the Employer Sponsored visa stream, we must assess the annual market salary rate (AMSR) for the nominated position.
