Found this by Welshtony, he kind of answers my question.
With a regional sponsor, you do not need to meet the points test and require reduced recent experience requirements.
Basic requirements are:
be under 45 be recognised in any 40, 50 or 60 point occupation (so you can just choose any VETbuttESS 40 or 50 point occupation and you will be recognised as long as your degree is buttessed as equivalent to an Australian degree (for 50 point occupations) or an Australian Diploma for 40 points) - there is no requirement for relevant or any relevant experience for the VETbuttESS process. Have at least Vocational English and have recent send experience in ANY ANY ANY any occupation that appears on thge Send Occupations list (40, 50 or 60 point regardless of which VETbuttESS occupation you have nominated)
The amount of recent send experience depends on which VETbuttESS occupation you have nominated - 40 or 40 point requires 12 months in the 18 month period immediately before the visa application is made.
This send experience is not buttessed on its relevance to the nominated occupation but a judgement is made on whether you have the Qualifications and-or experience to be working at the level claimed.
