Tasmania Invitation Round – 10 September 2026
Source: Migration Tasmania, updated 10 September 2026.
Important: The scores published by Migration Tasmania relate to its ROI ranking system and should not be confused with the federal SkillSelect Points Test.
66 Invitations Issued in the Latest Round
In the invitation round conducted on 10 September 2026, Migration Tasmania invited:
Subclass 190 – 40 invitations
- 6 Gold invitations
- 34 Green invitations
Subclass 491 – 26 invitations
- 3 Gold invitations
- 23 further invitations
This brings the total number of invitations issued in this particular round to 66.
Lowest ROI Scores Invited
The lowest scores invited on 10 September were:
- Subclass 190: 502 points
- Subclass 491: 74 points
These figures represent the lowest ROI scores that received an invitation in this particular round. They should not be treated as fixed minimum scores or guaranteed invitation thresholds for future rounds.
Invitation outcomes can vary between rounds depending on the number of ROIs on hand, candidate rankings, priority attributes and the availability of nomination places.
How Many ROIs Are Currently on Hand?
Following the 10 September invitation round, Migration Tasmania reported:
- 890 ROIs on hand for subclass 190
- 603 ROIs on hand for subclass 491
These figures refer to ROIs with a status of “Submitted” after the invitation round had taken place.
The number of ROIs on hand provides an indication of the level of interest in Tasmania state nomination, but an applicant’s competitiveness will depend on their individual circumstances and ranking within the relevant pathway.
1,750 Nomination Places Remain Available
As at the latest update, Migration Tasmania reported:
- 1,018 nomination places available for subclass 190
- 732 nomination places available for subclass 491
This means a combined 1,750 nomination places remained available across the two visa subclasses at the time of the 10 September update.
While a substantial number of places remain available, applicants should not interpret this as a guarantee that an ROI will receive an invitation.
Tasmania continues to rank ROIs and issue invitations according to its program requirements and priority settings.
Nomination Applications and Outstanding Invitations
Migration Tasmania also provided an update on applications currently progressing through the nomination process.
There were:
- 8 subclass 190 nomination applications lodged but not yet decided
- 13 subclass 491 nomination applications lodged but not yet decided
In addition, invitations had already been issued but nomination applications had not yet been lodged for:
- 66 subclass 190 applicants
- 58 subclass 491 applicants
The oldest nomination application lodged but not yet allocated to a case officer was dated 9 September 2026.
Understanding the 536 and 86 Point Figures
The latest update separately reports the “Lowest point score required to gain nomination (at assessment)” as:
- Subclass 190: 536 points
- Subclass 491: 86 points
These figures are not the lowest scores invited in the 10 September round.
Migration Tasmania specifically states that this measure is:
“a rolling three-month average of the lowest point score resulting in an invitation.”
Therefore, applicants should distinguish between:
Lowest score invited on 10 September 2026
- 190: 502
- 491: 74
and:
Lowest point score required to gain nomination (at assessment) – rolling three-month average
- 190: 536
- 491: 86
Neither set of figures should be interpreted as a guaranteed future invitation threshold.
What Should Tasmania 190 and 491 Applicants Do?
Applicants who have submitted or are preparing a Tasmania ROI should ensure that their information is accurate and that any points or priority attributes claimed can be supported by appropriate evidence.
In particular, applicants should review their:
- eligible Tasmania nomination pathway;
- ROI score and priority attributes;
- Skills Assessment;
- English language results;
- employment and income evidence, where applicable; and
- supporting documents required for nomination.
Invitation results can change from one round to another, so applicants should consider their overall competitiveness rather than relying solely on the lowest score published in a previous invitation round.
