The process to apply for Australian State Sponsorship
To Apply for Australian State Sponsorship, you would typically:
- Submit an Expression of Interest on the Department of Home Affairs’ SkillSelect database (homeaffairs.gov.au) and indicate whether the candidate is seeking either nomination from ʻWestern Australia’ or ʻany state or territory’.
- Meet the Department of Home Affairs’ eligibility requirements for the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) or Skilled Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491).
- The points test pass mark is the Department of Home Affairs’ minimum number of points required to receive an invitation for a visa. The pass mark is currently 65 points.
It’s worth noting however that not all EOIs lodged meeting the points test will receive an invitation to apply for state migration. Applicants are generally ranked so those applicants with higher points or meeting priority occupation requirements will be more likely to receive an invitation first.

Hi Mark,
I’ve been looking at jobs online that offer sponsorship(s) and when I apply, I get responses from the employers saying if I can relocate to Australia, they would offer me the job and while working for them, they would sponsor me. They’re willing to offer me the job but I have to move there for that to happen.
Now, I am not so sure what sort of visa to get to travel to Australia for the job. What are some of the visa options that you think I should consider applying for?
I looked at the working holiday maker visa but it has fixed age limits (18-30). I am 40.
Please help me out.
Regards
if anybody outside Australia. How he will get Employment contract from Australian government?
