If you are a visa-required non-EU citizen who intends to visit the Schengen Area for a total period of up to 90 days, and you intend to visit more than one Schengen State (Schengen country), your application for a Schengen visa should be submitted via the Schengen State where the longest period of time will be spent.
Generally, a short-stay visa (“visitor’s visa”) issued by one of the Schengen States entitles its holder to travel throughout the Schengen States for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.
Within the framework of the Schengen cooperation regarding visas, Sweden is represented by other Schengen States in a number of places. In Australia, Sweden is represented by Norway.
