To be eligible for the subclass 491 visa, applicants must be nominated by a state or territory government or sponsored by an eligible family member residing in a designated regional area.
The occupations available for subclass 491 visa nomination can vary depending on the specific requirements and priorities of each state or territory government. These occupations are typically selected based on the skill shortages and economic needs of regional areas.

You may also consult with a registered migration agent for expert guidance on available occupations and the nomination process for the subclass 491 visa.
