Victorian State Nominations to target STEMM Skills

Victorian skilled visa nomination will allow those already living and working in Victoria to continue supporting Victoria's economic recovery by applying for Skilled Nominated Subclass 190 Visa or Skilled Regional Subclass 491 Visa. For applicants currently working in Victoria in a target sector, casual employment and employment in a role that is closely related to your nominated occupation, will be accepted, and applicants using their STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths and Manufacturing) skills in a business precinct (Parkville, Footscray and Docklands) will be highly regarded.
