Tasmania State Nomination – Tasmanian Skilled Graduate Pathways (TSG)

2026-27 Changes to priority attributes

Tasmanian Skilled Graduate (TSG) pathways

• No change has been made to eligibility for the Gold priority attribute in this pathway.

• Candidates who have lived and worked or studied only in Tasmania, with no other period of residence in another part of Australia, will receive 15 points. This will give greater recognition to applicants who have chosen to establish themselves in Tasmania from the outset. While these additional points provide higher priority, claiming this attribute is on its own will not guarantee an invitation to apply without additional attributes that demonstrate integration into the Tasmanian workforce and community.

• New Orange-plus attributes have been added for employment related to study:

  • More than 18 months in a role related to study (earning at least priority income level) – 100 points for subclass 190 / 95 points for subclass 491
  • 12-18 months in a role related to study – 75 points for subclass 190 / 70 points for subclass 491
  • 9-12 months in a role related to study – 50 points for subclass 190 / 45 points for subclass 491

• Earnings higher than TSMIT/CSIT has increased from 23 points to 25 points for subclass 190, and from 20 to 23 points for subclass 491

• Earnings of at least 90 percent of TSMIT increased from 13 to 20 points for subclass 190, and from 11 to 15 points for subclass 491.

• Two years employment in a role that does not match skills assessments, or Tasmanian study has been adjusted from two years to at least 18 months in a nonmatching role. This scores 20 points for subclass 190 and 18 points for subclass 491.

• Minor increases to scores for priority attributes recognising employment below priority income level.

• Other minor adjustments to priority attributes for length of residence as well as work in same industry paid below priority income level.
