The Australian Government has provided Tasmania’s skilled nominated visa allocation for the 2024-25 program year.
A total of 2860 nomination places have been issued this year as part of Tasmania’s allocation of state and territory nominated visa categories. These include:
- Skilled Nominated (subclass 190) visa: 2,100 places
- Skilled Work Regional (subclass 491) visa: 760 places
There are some updates for the 2024-25 program includes:
- 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.
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.
- 19 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.
