New South Wales Skilled Nomination — Eligibility Checker

A quick, private self-check against the common core requirements for New South Wales subclass 190 and 491 nomination, with a live occupation search. Stream-specific rules vary — always confirm on the official NSW Government page. Nothing you enter is saved.

General guidance only. This covers the eligibility requirements common to all skilled-nomination applicants and does not capture every New South Wales stream rule, which change without notice and are set at the NSW Government's discretion. Always check the official New South Wales skilled migration page and seek advice from a registered migration agent before relying on a result. Meeting the common core does not guarantee a nomination.
