Tasmanian update for State Migration

2023-24 Tasmanian Skilled Migration State Nomination Program Update
July 2024
2023-24 Program Allocations
The Australian Government has provided Tasmania’s skilled nominated visa allocation for the 2024-25 program year.
A total of 2860 nomination places have been issued this year as part of Tasmania’s allocation of state and territory nominated visa categories. These include:
Skilled Nominated (subclass 190) visa: 2,100 places
Skilled Work Regional (subclass 491) visa: 760 places
Tasmania’s Skilled Migration State Nomination Program will reopen to new Registrations of Interest in the coming weeks, with details to be announced soon.
For more information about Tasmania’s 2024-25 Tasmanian Skilled Migration State Nomination Program allocation, please read the Minister for Skills and Training’s media release.
Nomination applications lodged but not yet decided
If you have lodged an application for nomination but have not received an outcome, Migration Tasmania will continue to process your application against the requirements in place at the time you lodged your application. If approved, applicants will be nominated in SkillSelect.
Subclass 491 applicants seeking subclass 190 nomination
Applications for subclass 491 nomination that have been lodged but not yet decided will not be considered for subclass 190 nomination. If you wish to be considered for subclass 190 nomination you will need to withdraw your current application and register for subclass 190 when the 2024-25 program opens. A new invitation to apply for subclass 190 nomination will depend upon the level of interest and the number of pro-rata places available at the time.
If you have any questions about the program, your ROI or your application for nomination, please contact Migration Tasmania at [email protected]

from Western Australia migration Most FAQ . In terms of transparency -kudos WA!

does this mean I can submit EOI/ROI for WA 190 even though I'm in VIC and if got invited and grant, I can choose to stay in VIC?

Usually for onshore State nominations, they require the applicant to be living already in the State.

The explanation looks straightforward. You can submit an EOI/ROI for WA 190 even if you're in VIC and then stay in VIC, provided that you have justifications to stay in VIC.

Complex · July 24

Receiving an invitation/grant from WA is a different matter. As whimpee said, some states prioritize onshore applicants. For WA, they prioritize those who are already living in WA. Those living in other states and offshore are less prioritized for this FY.

That FAQ is not related to EOI nor ROI at all. Totally separate matter. Most states do not consider or give less priority nominating applicants located or living in other states. Read more on this once the states publish their rules for the new FY.

However, that FAQ answers what to do when one has been granted a 190 visa that was nominated by WA but intends to move or relocate to another state and lived in WA short of the 2-yr obligation.

I checked with my agent and its not required daw during submission of the application but you need to have the proof of financial capacity ready in case they ask it after receiving the nomination.

I'm still contemplating if I'll submit because I'm not sure if I can survive the 3 years commitment in NT hahaha. Pero medyo desperate na rin for an invite huhu

Tasmanian Skilled Migration State Nomination Program Update - 30 July 2024

Part 1/3

2024-25 Skilled Migration State Nomination Program opens for Registrations of Interest

The 2024-25 Skilled Migration State Nomination Program will open for Registrations of Interest from 12pm, 1 August 2024. Updated eligibility requirements, policy guidance and service fees will apply.

Features of the 2024-25 Skilled Migration State Nomination Program

The 2024-25 program includes:
• Changes to priority attributes, including a reduction in green attributes and a new “orange-plus” attribute category.

• All occupations listed on the Australian Government’s subclass 190 and 491 list remain eligible for nomination in at least one program pathway.

• 18 new occupation groups, comprising 78 individual occupations, have been added to the Tasmanian Onshore Skilled Occupation List for the subclass 190 Tasmanian Skilled Employment pathway. Candidates with a skills assessment and directly related employment qualify for permanent visa nomination after six months of work.

• Changes to income thresholds in minimum eligibility requirement and priority attributes based on updates to Australian median and average earnings and the Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold.

• An updated critical roles list (for gold priority in the Tasmania Skilled Employment, Skilled Graduate and Established Resident pathways).

• More detailed policy guidance in the Additional Information, Exclusions and Definitions section of the Migration Tasmania website.

• An increased service fee to apply for nomination to $360 (plus $36 GST). There is no charge to submit a Registration of Interest.

Change to priority attributes

Green priority attributes have been reduced for the Tasmanian Skilled Employment, Skilled Graduate Established Resident and Business Owner pathways. Some previously green attributes have been moved to a new “orange-plus” category. This will provide greater certainty, allowing all green pass holders to receive an invitation to apply for nomination within eight weeks of submitting a registration of interest.

Candidates with at least one orange-plus attribute will be a high priority and highly likely to receive an invitation to apply for nomination within six months. The higher the orange-plus attributes a candidate attains, the sooner an invitation will be issued.

All subclass candidates with at least one orange-plus attribute will be invited to apply for nomination this program year.

Employment must be skilled (ANZSCO Skill Levels 1-3) to claim orange-plus attributes.

Additions to the Tasmanian Onshore Skilled Occupation List (TOSOL)

The TOSOL is used to determine eligibility for subclass 190 nomination in the Tasmanian Skilled Employment – TOSOL option nomination Pathway. It lists skilled occupation groups for which employers are currently experiencing significant recruitment difficulty. It also aims to attract new skilled migrants by providing a fast and simple pathway to permanent residency.

Candidates may have a migration skills assessment and an employment role within the same four-digit group to be considered for subclass 190 nomination in the Tasmanian Skilled Employment Pathway. Where an occupation is not on the Home Affairs skilled occupation lists, and a skills assessment is not available for that role, candidates may have a skills assessment for any one of the occupations listed in that group.

For example, an applicant who holds a skills assessment for “232212 Surveyor” could be working in any of the roles listed in the “2322 Surveyors and Spatial Scientists” group to meet the subclass 190 nomination requirement.

Ozdrims · July 30

Part 2/3
Tasmanian Skilled Migration State Nomination Program Update - 30 July 2024

The following 19 occupation groups have been added to the TOSOL.

1311 Advertising, Public Relations and Sales Managers

1322 Finance Managers

Critical Roles list

The critical roles list is used to prioritise invitations to apply for nomination based on employment in highly skilled roles.

Thirty-seven occupations have been added to the critical roles list and 30 have been removed. The impact of removal is minor, as all candidates working in their skills assessment area are of high priority for nomination.

All the occupations slated for removal remain high priority and are included in the updated TOSOL.

Policy Guidance (Additional Information, Exclusions and Definitions)

Changes to the Additional Information, Exclusions and Definitions section of the Migration Tasmania website:
• Income thresholds updated to reflect latest Australian average and median earnings and the new Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold.
• Excluded business operations – clarification about including parcel delivery contracting services (eg, Australia Post, Aramex). These are accepted as employment where the applicant has a related skills assessment or at least two years’ prior experience.
• Claiming skilled employment related to gold or green attributes - Additional guidance about indicators of skilled employment including:
o Roles that match ANZSCO Skill Levels 1,2 or 3
o Pay rate above the Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold
o Pay rate at or around National Minimum Salary is an indicator that employment is not skilled.
• Excluded employment – employment with a related skills assessment as Chef, Cook, or Café or Restaurant manager in a fast casual restaurant or café business is now accepted. It is not accepted in relation to limited-service restaurants:
Fast casual restaurants combine elements of fast food and casual dining, blending the speed and convenience of fast food chains and the quality and atmosphere of a casual restaurant. These establishments typically offer freshly prepared dishes, and a more appealing dining environment without the full table service of traditional sit-down restaurants. Fast casual restaurants and cafes are usually characterised by:
•
o
 Made-to-order meals emphasising higher quality ingredients
 Limited service or self service
 Upscale or highly developed décor
 All ingredients/meals are prepared on-premises
 Off-premise and on-premise dining, but with an emphasis on dining in
 Lower average meal price than fine dining
 No drive-through.
• ANZSCO 4 or 5 roles – Qualifications or experience consistent with ANZSCO - Claiming employment in lieu of qualification specified in ANZSCO for a role – clarification added that for the purposes of Tasmanian nomination only qualification will be accepted:

Ozdrims · July 30

Part 3

If using employment in a role equivalent to ANZSCO Skill Level 4 or 5 to meet minimum requirements or priority attributes, you must have the relevant qualifications or experience as defined in ANZSCO (note that for the purposes of this program qualifications must be a minimum Certificate III, or at least 12 months experience).
For example, if working as a Retail Supervisor (ANZSCO 621511 – ANZSCO Skill Level 4), you must have an AQF Certificate III or at least one year of relevant experience.
For some occupations ANZSCO indicates that an amount of time in employment may substitute for the specified qualification. However, for the purposes of Tasmanian nomination you cannot use that work experience concession for ANZSCO 4 or 5 work: you will need the relevant qualification to claim this priority attribute.
Where ANZSCO does not list a qualification or experience for an occupation Migration Tasmania requires you to have a related AQF Certificate III qualification or one year of relevant Australian experience.
Where a priority attribute or Gateway question / response specifically refers to a qualification, experience cannot be used as a substitute.
• Employment related to skills assessment or study – additional guidance about how a relationship between employment and Tasmanian study can be shown:
If you are claiming employment in a skilled role directly related to your Tasmanian study, one way this can be shown is by supplying a role description or relevant job advertisement demonstrating that the role requires the qualification you gained.
For example, if you have completed a Bachelor of Social Work or have a skills assessment as a Social Worker, your job advertisement or job description may state:
“A Bachelor of Social Work or a Diploma of Community Welfare Work or other tertiary qualifications at Diploma or above level which includes units of case management/casework practice and supervised practical work placements in relevant fields.”
Migration Tasmania would accept this employment as being directly related to your study.
• Job interviews related to skills assessment or Tasmanian study - New guidance clarifying that this can only be claimed if the applicant is not currently in skilled employment.
• Genuine employment / business operation - indicators of concern – New item listing indicators of concern regarding employment claims that could prompt an officer to consider deeper checks from an applicant or employing business. All available information will be assessed and a determination made on the balance of information. This may lead to a decision to decline nomination.

Applications lodged or invited and before 12:00pm

Applications for nomination that have been lodged but not decided or have been invited before 1 August 2024 will continue to be processed against the requirements that were in place at the time of invitation.

Registrations of Interest submitted in the 2023-24 program year

Registrations of Interest (ROIs) submitted during before 1 July 2024 will remain valid for the 2024-25 program year up until the six-month expiry date or until an invitation to apply for nomination is issued.

If invited to apply for nomination, the requirements and settings in place at the time of ROI submission will apply.

New priority attributes apply to ROIs submitted from 12pm 1 August 2024. In cases where new requirements are likely to be beneficial, candidates may wish to withdraw their current ROI and submit a new one.

For more information about any of the above, please contact Migration Tasmania at [email protected]
