The best visa you can get is the 189 because it's permanent and gives you total freedom to live anywhere in Australia. The 190 is the next best because it's permanent, but you have to live in the designated state for the first two years. The 489 was the third best, because it was only provisional and you had to stay in your designated state for three years, then you could get PR. The 491 has replaced the 489 and is similar, but the conditions are tougher.

Almost impossible to answer without seeing your paperwork, roles and responsibilities etc. It will come down to what your job actually entails (i.e. what you do day to day) and if you can substantiate that. It would be prudent to run your situation past a qualified and registered migration agent to get an opinion from them (this will probably involve paying a little bit for their time) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
