Tasmania Skilled Migration Program Updates

Interim nomination allocation received

The Tasmanian Government looks forward to welcoming more migrants to the State in this and future years. As with all migrant groups, Skilled Migration Program migrants help meet Tasmania’s labour market needs, particularly in regional areas. They also make significant capital investments in Tasmania and are key contributors to the Tasmanian economy.

The Australian Government has granted Tasmania an interim skilled visa allocation of nomination places for the 2022-23 program year.

The Department of Home Affairs has advised that this allocation will be reviewed after the first quarter of 2022-23, so applicants should not take it as a guarantee of a full year’s quota.

Tasmania’s interim allocation includes:

Skilled Nominated (subclass 190) visa: 2000 places

Skilled Work Regional (subclass 491) visa: 1350 places

2022-23 program opening

The Tasmanian Skilled Migration State Nomination Program is scheduled to open progressively in phases over the coming weeks.

The first phase of the program will include candidates who were successful in the 2021-22 intake, as well as the selection, invitation and nomination of candidates selected from the Overseas Skilled Occupation Profiles pathway.

For candidates residing overseas who are interested in Tasmanian nomination, it is important that their Skillselect EOIs be up-to-date and reflect the profiles published on the Migration Tasmania website.

The second phase will open the program to high-priority ‘Gold Pass’ and ‘Green Pass’ applicants; the final phase will open the program to all eligible candidates.
