What this list unlocks

Skilled Nominated (190) and Skilled Work Regional (491), with state or territory nomination. Being listed is the entry condition, not the whole test: you still need a skills assessment from the authority named against your occupation, the English level the visa requires, and either the points or the sponsorship the route runs on.
