Recently announced skilled occupation list not only indicates what sorts for skill state looking for but also signals who would get state nomination for a subclass-190 permanent residency visa. While covering major popular occupations the NSW skilled occupation list 2019-2020 makes it clear that only candidates with a closer tie with the state and high point scorer on SkillSelect would be eligible for 190 subclass visa nomination.

Especially pro-rata occupations which are high in demand and applications as well are now subject to the additional requirement. To get an invitation to be nominated by the NSW state government such candidates must be living in NSW, and have been employed in the state for at least one year in their nominated occupation. But, not necessarily to be employed while submitting the application, previous employment can satisfy the requirement.
