not sure about other states but in NSW is Dept. of Community Services Caseworker or known simply as DoCS Caseworker.

I am not sure if that is classed as a Public servant job or not but sometimes when you are dealing with what you described as a Government Job it usually requires Citizenship or at least Permanent residency.

I thought they were meaning getting sponsored by the government for a job on 457, 176 is State sponsorship not Government sponsored.

Yeah, I assumed he meant state sponsored.
I was actually wondering about that the other day, how easy or hard it would be for people in public sector jobs to get sponsored on 457

some occupation's are listed on the 457 list, but as a policy the state governments wont employ you unless you are a PR.

here is a good example

On the 457 list
