Tasmanian Skilled Migration State Nomination Program Update – 5 July 2023

• ​2023-24 Tasmanian Skilled Migration State Nomination ProgramThe Migration Tasmania Application Gateway is currently undergoing maintenance and updates and is not currently available to submit Registrations of Interest or lodge applications for nomination. It is expected to be available again by 4pm on Friday 7 July 2023.

  We will advise via our website and in a future update if the Gateway is available before this time.

  New features of the Skilled Migration State Nomination Program for 2023-24

  Only minimal changes have been made to the program for 2023-24. New minimum eligibility requirements and priority attributes will apply to ROIs and applications submitted from 3 July 2023. In cases where new requirements are likely to be beneficial, candidates may wish to withdraw their current ROI and submit a new one once the Gateway is available.

  Changes include:

• Extending eligibility for subclass 190 nomination to all occupations in the Tasmanian Skilled Employment pathway
• An updated Tasmanian Onshore Skilled Occupation List
• Changes to requirements for massage therapists
• Changes to income thresholds based on updates to Australian median and average earnings and the Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold
• Minor changes to priority attributes
• More detailed policy guidance in the Additional Information, Exclusions and Definitions section of the Migration Tasmania website

The service fee to apply for nomination has increased to $330 (including GST). There is no charge to submit a Registration of Interest
