you can apply for state sponsorship as long as your nominated occupation is listed on your chosen state's skill list. Every state has its different skill list so you should look for a state that has your nominated occupation listed on it. Although im not so sure if you can still revise your application having same visa type (176) but different category. cheers!

Congratulations to all those who got CO allocation this week. I hope we can experience the same fate when we lodge our application by late Feb/ early March (hopefully)
