Skilled visa allocations

Tasmania’s 2023-24 program year allocation has not yet been confirmed by the Australian Government. Details will be published in a later bulletin and on the Migration Tasmania website as soon as the allocation has been confirmed.

Applications lodged before 1 July 2023

Applications for nomination that have been lodged but not decided before 1 July 2023 will continue to be processed against the requirements that were in place at the time of application. If approved, they will be nominated in SkillSelect from after the Australian Government provides 2023-24 program year nomination allocations.

Registrations of Interest submitted before 1 July 2023

Registrations of Interest (ROIs) submitted before 1 July 2023 will remain valid for the 2023-24 program year.

If invited to apply for nomination the requirements and settings that were in place at the time of ROI submission will apply.

Only minimal changes have been made to the program for 2023-24. New minimum eligibility requirements and priority attributes will apply to ROIs and applications submitted from 3 July 2023.
