491 State Sponsored Working Requirements

Hello, Can anyone answer any or all of the below questions please.

On a State Sponsored 491 Visa, it states you must work and live in Regional Australia.

Does the company you work for have to be based in Regional Australia or could the company be based elsewhere (UK) and you live and work from Regional Australia?

Does the company have to have been established for any amount of time?

Could an Established UK Company open an Office in Regional Australia, and working for this company, based from the Australian Office, count towards the 491 Visa Requirements?

Thanks

Martin

You need to live and work in regional australia, but the head office of the company can be anywhere.   However reading between the lines, are you thinking of continuing to work for your UK employer remotely?    If so, I'm not sure that would count, because your work isn't physically in the country.   I'm on expert though, perhaps someone else will know.
