190 Visa

Skilled Nominated Visa Subclass 190

The Skilled Nominated visa is a permanent visa for eligible skilled workers nominated by an Australian state or territory government. Each jurisdiction can apply its own nomination criteria and priorities.

Key Considerations

  • Your occupation must be eligible for the relevant pathway.
  • A suitable skills assessment is generally required.
  • You must meet federal visa requirements.
  • You must satisfy the nomination requirements of the relevant state or territory.
  • Nomination programs can open, close or change during a program year.

Strategic Approach

State nomination should be approached strategically. The state with the most familiar name is not always the state offering the strongest pathway for a particular applicant.
