Tasmania's Skilled Visa Nomination Program for 2024-25 is now open. The Tasmanian Onshore Skilled Occupations List (TOSOL) highlights the skills currently in demand in Tasmania, based on the eligible occupations for the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) and Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491) as defined by the Australian Government. Here are some of the key highlights:

  • Skilled Nominated Visa (subclass 190) – there are 2,100 places, with the Skilled Work Regional Visa (subclass 491) having 760 places.

  • Updates to priority attributes, featuring a reduction in green attributes and the introduction of a new "orange-plus" category.

  • Continued eligibility for all occupations listed on the Australian Government’s subclass 190 and 491 lists in at least one program pathway.

  • The addition of 18 new occupation groups, totalling 78 individual occupations, to the Tasmanian Onshore Skilled Occupation List for the subclass 190 Tasmanian Skilled Employment pathway. Candidates with a relevant skills assessment and employment in these occupations qualify for permanent visa nomination after six months of work.

  • Adjustments to income thresholds in minimum eligibility requirements and priority attributes, reflecting updates to Australian median and average earnings and the Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold.

  • An updated critical roles list, which applies to gold priority in the Tasmania Skilled Employment, Skilled Graduate, and Established Resident pathways.
