The NSW 190 Priority Skilled Occupation List for the 2019–20 financial year is published and includes a list of occupations across a broad range of industry sectors.

This year NSW Government has introduced a system to show the availability of occupations for nomination by NSW. NSW Government will update this regularly to reflect any changes, including the filling of an occupation’s quota. Although an occupation may be available, this does not guarantee an invitation to apply for NSW nomination.

Demand for nomination by NSW is extremely high. The NSW Government will continue to select and invite top ranking candidates who meet the NSW nomination criteria in occupations on the NSW 190 Priority Skilled Occupation List (NSW 190 List).

Some occupations on the NSW 190 Priority Occupation List (NSW 190 List) are now subject to an additional requirement for nomination by NSW.

The additional requirement for these occupations is to be living in NSW, and to have been employed in NSW for at least one year, in the nominated occupation.

These occupations are indicated on the NSW 190 Priority Skilled Occupation List.
