New South Wales: state nomination for the Subclass 491 visa

    New South Wales decides whom it nominates for the Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491), against its own criteria and occupation list, published on its official page. Home Affairs' own lists for the 491 are the MLTSSL, STSOL and ROL; New South Wales's list is drawn from them and changes during the program year.
