• Answer:

  You go to the website for each of Australia's states and territories and check their lists of occupations for which sponsorship is available. If your occupation is listed, you read the requirements for that state; find how to apply (it will be on the website somewhere) and apply. A few months later, you get their answer. Then you either lodge your visa application with DIAC from scratch, or, if the new nomination is in the same visa class as an existing application (e.g. 175 Independent/176 state sponsored), notify DIAC that you now have sponsorship and they will add it for you without you having to pay a new VAC or make a new application. If the new application is in a different visa class from an existing application, you will probably have to start over and pay a new VAC. Here is a page with links to each of the state/territory sites: http://www.australia.gov.au/topics/immigration/state-and-territory-migration-sites Some states will also offer 'off list' sponsorship to people who have a job offer for an occupation on the DIAC Skilled Occupations List (SOL) but which is not listed on their required skills lists.
