Regional Certifying Body 

Business Chamber Queensland is a Regional Certifying Body (RCB) for Queensland. 

As an RCB, we provide advice to the Department of Home Affairs on the Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 494) (SESR visa) in the Employer Sponsored (ES) stream. 

The RCB’s role is to use local area knowledge to advise on whether the nominee for the position will be paid at least the Annual Market Salary Rate (AMSR) for the occupation.
