Skilled Migration Program Updates

Interim nomination allocation received

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

The Department of Home Affairs has advised that this allocation will be revisited after the first quarter of 2022-23 and should not be taken as an indication of the 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 will open progressively in phases over the coming weeks.

The initial phase will include successful candidates ‘held over’ from the 2021-22 year as well as the selection, invitation and nomination of candidates in the Overseas Skilled Occupation Profiles pathway.

Candidates currently residing overseas who are interested in Tasmanian nomination should ensure their Skillselect EOIs are 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 registrations of interest from all eligible candidates.

Further details regarding each phase of the reopening of the Tasmanian Skilled Migration State Nomination Program will be provided in future updates.
