Subclass 190 & 491

Tasmania State Nomination – Tasmanian Skilled Employment Pathways (TSE)

2026-27 Changes to priority attributes

Tasmanian Skilled Employment (TSE) pathway – subclass 190 and 491 

  • The Gold attribute has been limited in this pathway to candidates who have worked in Tasmania for the past six months, with at least one job providing a minimum (not average) of 30 hours per week. Candidates may hold multiple jobs, but at least one must consistently meet the 30‑hour requirement. This ensures that a Gold pass is granted only to candidates who are either genuinely established in Tasmania or who hold secure employment that reliably indicates they are likely to remain in the state.
  • Complimentary scoring changes have been made to other attributes to ensure appropriate priority to is given to candidates who would have received a Gold pass under the 2025-26 settings, after nine months employment with a salary of over $71,549 per year.
  • 12-18 months of matching employment attributes split into two:
    • 15-18 months of matching employment – 40 points.
    • 12-15 months of matching employment – 30 points.
  • The score for 9-12 months of matching employment has been increased from 6 to 25 points.
  • The score for having two years of industry experience combined with earning the priority income level has been reduced from 30 points to 15 points (from Orange-plus to Orange). This change reflects the stronger value placed on Tasmanian employment as a predictor of long‑term settlement outcomes.

Tasmanian Skilled Employment (TSE) pathway – subclass 491

• To be consistent with subclass 190 TSE, an additional 15-point priority attribute was added stating “two years Australian experience in same industry earning at least priority income level”.

• The score for 18 months of employment in an unrelated role has been adjusted from 35 to 15 points, reflecting that strong candidates claiming this attribute are also likely to qualify for additional attributes.
