This information has been taken from the NSW government website:
NSW is introducing a selection-based invitation process in 2015. This will be implemented from February 2015 onwards.
Under the selection and invitation process for the 190 program, prospective candidates can only apply for NSW nomination if they have been selected from SkillSelect and invited by NSW Trade & Investment.
NSW will be sourcing and selecting candidates who have submitted an Expression of Interest (EOI) in SkillSelect and indicated that they wish to be considered for NSW nomination for a 190 visa.
For more information please see the following link:
This would bring NSW in line with other states such as WA. Will NSW continue to charge a fee for State Sponsorship Applications? How ling until Victoria follows suit. Victoria State Sponsorship is currently free. Will the NSW State Sponsorship process be open and transparent?
