In today's blog, we will be discussing Tasmania’s 190 nomination criteria. It's important to note that state nomination and your visa application are two separate processes. The Tasmanian Government assesses your application for state nomination, while the Department of Home Affairs handles your visa application.

To meet the Home Affairs criteria, you must:

Before diving into Tasmania’s 190 criteria, keep in mind the following:

  1. Meeting the minimum nomination requirements does not guarantee you will receive a Tasmanian nomination. Only the most competitive Registrations of Interest will be selected for an invitation to apply.

  2. Candidates nominated for a Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa will not be eligible for future nomination for a permanent Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa.

  3. Any outstanding debts to Tasmanian Government agencies, such as for education or health, must be settled or arrangements made before seeking nomination. You will not be eligible for nomination until the debt is paid or a payment plan is in place.

Tasmania’s 190 nomination involves three steps:

  1. Expression of Interest (EOI)

  2. Registration of Interest (ROI): Registration is free and valid for six months. If your registration expires without an invitation, you may register again.

  3. Nomination Application

In this blog, we will explore the nomination pathways for the 190 visa.

Some key considerations before examining the pathways:

When you register in the Gateway, your priority status will be indicated by a Gold, Green, or Orange Pass:

Note: Tasmania has introduced the Orange Plus pass this year.

There are four nomination pathways for the 190 visa, each with specific requirements and priority attributes that determine your pass color. You may need to possess one or more of the Priority Attributes listed for all pathways.

The four nomination pathways are:

  1. Tasmanian Skilled Employment Pathway

  2. Tasmanian Skilled Graduate Pathway

  3. Tasmanian Established Resident Pathway

  4. Overseas Applicant (Health Sector Job Offer) Pathway

Let's begin with the first pathway:

Tasmanian Skilled Employment Pathway (TOSOL option):

Long-term employment option - all occupations eligible for this pathway:

For both options:

  1. Your employment must average at least 20 hours per week over the six-month period prior to lodging your application.

  2. You must currently live in Tasmania and intend to continue living in Tasmania. Your dependents must not reside in another Australian state or territory.

  3. Your employment must be closely related to your nominated occupation (a skilled role within the same ANZSCO 4-digit group as your skills assessment).

  4. There must be a genuine, ongoing need for your position within the business, including a minimum 12-month contract with at least three months remaining at the time you apply for nomination.

Now, let's move on to the second pathway:

Tasmanian Skilled Graduate Pathway:

Apart from meeting these minimum criteria, you may also need to possess one or more of the Priority Attributes listed for this pathway.

The third nomination pathway is the Tasmanian Established Resident Pathway

To meet the requirements for this pathway:

Apart from meeting these minimum criteria, you may also need to possess one or more of the Priority Attributes listed for this pathway.

The fourth and final nomination pathway for the Subclass 190 is the Overseas Applicant (Health Sector Job Offer) Pathway. Only health occupations are eligible for this pathway, and the occupation list is available on Migration Tasmania’s website.

To be considered for this pathway, you must meet all the following criteria:

Minimum Requirements:

Tasmania has a complex Nomination and Invitation process, and each pathway has its own specific requirements and attributes.
