Tasmania State Nomination – Tasmanian Established Resident Pathways (TER)

2026-27 Changes to priority attributes

Tasmanian Established Resident (TER) pathways 

New priority attributes:

  • Earning above priority income level and have two years of experience in same industry as skills assessment (23 points for subclass 190, 20 pts for subclass 491) – this recognises long residence in Tasmania compared to TSE pathways.
  • Earning below priority income level with 6 – 12 months of experience that pays below the priority income level (5 points for subclass 190, 4 points for subclass 491)

• 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.
