State-by-state invitation patterns
NSW Skilled Nominated
NSW allocates 2,100 for 190, 1,500 for 491. Competitive 75-90 EOI points.
Industry fit — strongest in Australia:

Industry fit: Brisbane + Gold Coast jewellers (bridal market), Cairns (tropical luxury market).
SA — NOT ELIGIBLE
SA does not nominate 399411 — ironic given Coober Pedy opal industry.
Fallback: 494 with SA jeweller sponsor (all of SA regional for 494). Limited but functional.
WA — NOT ELIGIBLE
WA does not nominate 399411 — ironic given Argyle pink diamond legacy + Broome / Paspaley pearl industry.
Fallback: 494 with regional WA jeweller / Paspaley Broome sponsor.
NT — MigrationNT

Realistic points expectations
| Visa | Approx competitive score |
|---|---|
| 190 NSW | 75-90 |
| 190 VIC | 75-85 |
| 190 QLD (with QLD job) | 70-80 |
| 190 NT (with NT job / Paspaley) | 65-80 |
| 190 ACT (Matrix-driven) | n/a |
| 190 TAS (with TAS connection) | 65-80 |
| 491 (any eligible state) | 50-65 + 15 regional |
Why no 186 DE / 482 matters
399411 on STSOL but NOT CSOL → no 186 DE / 482. This means:
- No fast-track PR via employer sponsorship (6-12 months).
- Permanent state-nominated 190: 14-22 months.
- 491 regional / 494 regional: ~60 months to 191 PR.
For senior bespoke jewellers with confirmed sponsor offer, the lack of 186 DE is a structural limitation. Plan accordingly.
