One of the ways for skilled international students to approach permanent residency in Australia is by securing a skilled work regional (Provisional) visa or the 491 visa. There are two types of skilled work regional (Provisional) visa, one is for the Main applicant and the other is for a Subsequent entrant. As the name suggests the main applicant is a skilled worker who wants to live and work in regional Australia and the latter is a member of the family unit of someone who holds a Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491).
