FY2024-25 Tasmania State Nominated Migration Program

FY2024-25 Tasmania (TAS) Skilled Migration State Nomination Program will open for Registrations of Interest from 12pm, 1 August 2024.

Key Features

Changes to priority attributes, including a reduction in green attributes and a new orange-plus attribute category.
All occupations listed on the Australian Government’s subclass 190 and 491 list remain eligible for nomination in at least one program pathway.
18 new occupation groups, comprising 78 individual occupations, have been added to the Tasmanian Onshore Skilled Occupation List for the subclass 190 Tasmanian Skilled Employment pathway. Candidates with a skills assessment and directly related employment qualify for permanent visa nomination after six months of work.
Changes to income thresholds in minimum eligibility requirement and priority attributes based on updates to Australian median and average earnings and the Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold.
An updated critical roles list (for gold priority in the Tasmania Skilled Employment, Skilled Graduate and Established Resident pathways).
More detailed policy guidance in the Additional Information, Exclusions and Definitions section of the Migration Tasmania website.
An increased service fee to apply for nomination to $360 (plus $36 GST). There is no charge to submit a Registration of Interest.

Changes to Priority Attributes

Green priority attributes have been reduced for the Tasmanian Skilled Employment, Skilled Graduate Established Resident and Business Owner pathways. Some previously green attributes have been moved to a new “orange-plus” category. This will provide greater certainty, allowing all green pass holders to receive an invitation to apply for nomination within eight weeks of submitting a registration of interest.

Candidates with at least one orange-plus attribute will be a high priority and highly likely to receive an invitation to apply for nomination within six months. The higher the orange-plus attributes a candidate attains, the sooner an invitation will be issued.

All subclass candidates with at least one orange-plus attribute will be invited to apply for nomination this program year.

Employment must be skilled (ANZSCO Skill Levels 1-3) to claim orange-plus attributes.
