How does working in Bahrain affect GSM visa points?

I’ve been working in Bahrain for the past few years and I am planning to apply for a GSM visa to Australia. I am confused about whether my work experience in Bahrain counts toward my points calculation. I want to know if employers in Bahrain are recognized for GSM visa points purposes or if only experience in certain countries is considered.

Can Bahrain residents apply for GSM visa if they are not citizens?

I am currently living and working in Bahrain, but I am not a Bahraini citizen. I’ve always wondered if my residency status allows me to apply for the General Skilled Migration (GSM) visa to Australia. I am concerned about whether only citizens can apply or if residents like me are eligible and how this might affect my application process.
