Regional Opportunities Australia (ROA) aims to bridge the gap between hardworking migrants and refugees and the demand in regional areas for a committed labour force. When we come together, we can build welcoming communities and fulfilling lives that shape the Australian economy and society for the better.There is a wealth of opportunities across our beautiful nation. ROA is a not-for-profit organisation that helps migrants and refugees move from cities to welcoming regional communities and connects them to employment and business opportunities.ROA's role is to identify regional areas that have employment and business opportunities. It also identifies migrants and refugees who are excited to take up those opportunities and assists them in getting job and business ready, moving to, and calling regional Australia home. Prior to connecting the two, ROA culturally prepares both migrants and refugees, and regional communities to ensure that the transition to life in regional Australia is smooth and sustainable.We want to play a role in advancing the regional Australian economy and society by connecting hardworking migrants and refugees to regional areas that offer cheaper housing, lower cost of living and a stronger sense of belonging.
