Australia State Nomination Guide

· A practical guide to how state and territory nominations work for 190 and 491 applicants.

State and territory nomination pathways differ across jurisdictions, with different expectations, documentation requirements and occupation priorities.

Why nomination details matter

A points estimate is only one part of the process. State pages help applicants understand what additional nomination requirements may apply to their pathway.

How to use this information

State criteria can change. Always check the official state or territory source before relying on any summary page or points estimate.
