There are a few exemptions for the 186 transition stream, but they are quite niche: academics, government scientists, earning more than the Fair Work High Income Threshold for last three years, medical practitioner in regional Australia. No language exemptions any longer.

Hi - could you share your MARN with us please? Thanks

Anywhere outside Australia she has lived for more than 12 months cumulatively in the last 10 years, and Australia if she has spent any time in Australia since the age of 16. The upload slot is: "Character, Evidence of" under the sponsorship application.

These are not "temporary" visas, they are provisional visas and, provided you abide by the conditions of the visa, there is a pathway to PR built in. However, as mentioned QLD are not nominating accountants for either of the state nominated visas at the moment.

You are correct on the 189 as the most recent invitation round bottomed out at 95 points. WA are nominating for some categories of nursing specialisations, but not all of them and will only nominate nurses for "regional WA" and have a requirement that applicants: "must provide evidence of a job offer/contract of employment in a location defined by the Commonwealth as Category 3 - Regional Centres and Other Regional Areas (not Perth and Mandurah). These include the following areas by postcodes: 6041 to 6044, 6084, 6207, 6213, 6215 to 6537, and 6560 to 6770."
