2023-24 program – new requirements and processes

The 2023-24 Tasmanian Skilled Migration State Nomination Program is now closed to new Registrations of Interest (ROI).

If you have been invited to submit an application for nomination but you have not yet lodged, you can continue to do so before the invitation expiry date.

No further invitations to apply for nomination will be issued this program year.

Migration Tasmania will continue to assess applications for nomination that have been lodged but not yet decided, however only few nomination places remain and so not all applicants will be nominated this program year.

Once all nomination places are used, any applications that are approved will be nominated after Tasmania receives its nomination allocation for the 2024-25 program year.

ROIs that have been allocated a green or gold pass will continue to be held in the Application Gateway and considered for an invitation to apply for nomination when the 2024-25 program opens.

New features of the Skilled Migration State Nomination Program for 2023-24

Only minimal changes have been made to the program for 2023-24. New minimum eligibility requirements and priority attributes will apply to ROIs and applications submitted from 3 July 2023. In cases where new requirements are likely to be beneficial, candidates may wish to withdraw their current ROI and submit a new one once the Gateway is available.

Changes include:

Extending eligibility for subclass 190 nomination to all occupations in the Tasmanian Skilled Employment pathway
An updated Tasmanian Onshore Skilled Occupation List
Changes to requirements for massage therapists
Changes to income thresholds based on updates to Australian median and average earnings and the Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold
Minor changes to priority attributes
More detailed policy guidance in the Additional Information, book an appointment
The service fee to apply for nomination has increased to $330 (including GST). There is no charge to submit a Registration of Interest.

2023-24 Program Allocations

The Australian Government has issued Tasmania’s allocation for the state and territory nominated visa categories for the 2023-24 program year. The allocations are:

Skilled Nominated (subclass 190) visa: 600 places

Skilled Work Regional (subclass 491) visa: 600 places

No new nomination allocations have been provided for the Business Innovation and Investment Program (BIIP) in the 2023-24 program year for any jurisdiction.

This allocation is significantly lower than anticipated. The Department of Home Affairs has advised that reductions have been enacted across the entire State and Territory Nominated Program due to the large number of visa applications on-hand following the high quotas and subsequent number of nominations issued in 2022-23.

Caseload processing details (at 24 August 2023)

Skilled Nominated (subclass 190) visa:

Nominations – 0 of 600 places used
Nomination applications lodged but not decided – 160
Invitations to apply for nomination issued but not yet accepted – 7

Skilled Work Regional (subclass 491) visa:

Nominations – 0 of 600 places used
Nomination applications lodged but not decided – 149
Invitations to apply for nomination issued but not yet accepted – 42

Previous update:

This means all candidates who meet the minimum requirements for one of the nominations pathways will be able register their interest in nomination. This includes candidates who are eligible for an Orange Pass.

If you are given a Gold Pass you will be able to lodge an application for nomination immediately.

If you are given a Green Pass you will not be able to lodge an application straight away, but are likely to be invited to apply for nomination in the next 6-8 weeks.

If you are given an Orange Pass you may be invited to apply for nomination within the next six months, depending upon the volume of registrations and how many of the priority attributes you have. If you are not invited to apply within 6 months your registration will expire, and you will need to complete a new registration in the gateway to be considered for a nomination invitation.

If you are given a Red Pass it means you do not meet the minimum nomination requirements and will not be able to apply for nomination.

For skilled employees

o An expanded list of occupations and employment eligible for permanent subclass 190 visa nomination.
