Skilled Migration Hobart & Tasmania — Subclass 190 & 491 State Nomination

If Hobart or Tasmania is your target, Subclass 190 gives you permanent residency from day of grant — and every single Tasmanian postcode qualifies as a designated regional area under the federal framework, making Subclass 491 available throughout the entire state, including metropolitan Hobart. This gives Tasmania one of the broadest regional visa coverages in Australia.

How does Tasmania nomination work?

Tasmania ranks Registrations of Interest by priority attributes, not by points, and invites the highest-ranked weekly. Your ROI gets a Gold, Green, Orange-plus, Orange or Red pass, and that pass decides how fast you are invited. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee nomination.

Key facts

Every Tasmanian postcode is regional, Hobart CBD included. No other state with a capital city offers that.
Tasmania ranks ROIs by priority attributes, not points. A high SkillSelect score does not move you up the queue on its own.
Invitations are weekly, and the cut-off scores are published weekly. You can see exactly where the bar sits before you submit.
There are two thresholds, not one. The score needed to be invited, and the higher score needed to be nominated at assessment. Clearing the first does not clear the second.
A Gold pass is not a guarantee. A Gold holder who does not actually meet the Gold attribute is declined at assessment, whatever their score.
Nominated for a 491, never renominated for a 190. Tasmania will not do it. Your PR route becomes the 191.
Dependants cannot be living in another state. One of Tasmania's strictest and least-understood rules.
A debt to any Tasmanian Government agency blocks nomination — yours or a family member's, including family members who are not applying with you.
A nomination can be withdrawn later if Migration Tasmania finds false or misleading information, including in the ROI.

What makes Tasmania unique is how it manages selection. Rather than monthly rounds like SA or QLD, Tasmania invites the highest-ranked Registrations of Interest weekly — and publishes the cut-off scores every week on its official portal. Your ROI receives a priority pass — Gold, Green, Orange-plus, Orange, or Red (below the minimum requirements) — and that pass determines how quickly you are invited. Tasmania also has a critical rule: if you are nominated for 491, you cannot be re-nominated for 190 through Tasmania in the future.

Is Tasmania open right now?

Programme status changes during the year and is not held on this page. Allocations, which pathways are accepting ROIs, the nomination fee and the weekly invitation data are tracked in one place, with the date each state was last checked: state nomination status — all eight states.

Two things hold whatever the status says. Tasmania opens and closes pathways independently — the overseas 491 pathway can be shut while the onshore pathways run. And Migration Tasmania publishes weekly invitation results, including the lowest attribute score that received an invitation, so you can check how competitive your pass is before you commit to an ROI.

Hobart, Launceston, Burnie and All of Tasmania — Every Postcode is Regional

Tasmania has a major advantage that no other state with a capital city offers: the entire state is designated as regional under the DHA framework — including metropolitan Hobart and Launceston. There is no metro/regional split in Tasmania. Every Tasmanian postcode qualifies for Subclass 491. This means you can target Hobart's job market, lifestyle, and career opportunities while accessing the 15 nomination bonus points from the 491 pathway.

TAS regional areas eligibility
City / Area	190 Eligible?	491 Eligible?	DHA Category	Industry Strength
Hobart (metro)	✓ Yes	✓ Yes — whole TAS is regional	Category 2	Government, healthcare, education, technology, tourism. Tasmania's economic and cultural hub.
Launceston	✓ Yes	✓ Yes — Category 3	Category 3	Healthcare, manufacturing, retail, education. Tasmania's second largest city.
Burnie / Devonport	✓ Yes	✓ Yes — Category 3	Category 3	North-west industrial corridor — manufacturing, healthcare, energy, port logistics.
George Town / Beaconsfield	✓ Yes	✓ Yes — Category 3	Category 3	Industrial and mining history — growing in clean energy manufacturing.
Huon Valley / Southern TAS	✓ Yes	✓ Yes — Category 3	Category 3	Agriculture, horticulture, aquaculture, tourism.
East Coast (St Helens / Swansea)	✓ Yes	✓ Yes — Category 3	Category 3	Tourism, aquaculture, agriculture — growing lifestyle region.
Smithton / North-West Coast	✓ Yes	✓ Yes — Category 3	Category 3	Agriculture, dairy, timber. Remote and outer regional — stronger priority attributes possible.

All of Tasmania is Regional — Hobart Included

Unlike any other state with a major capital city, metropolitan Hobart is classified as Category 2 designated regional under the DHA framework.

This means Subclass 491 is available in Hobart CBD with full access to the 15 nomination bonus points.

Verify your specific postcode against the Home Affairs regional postcode framework before applying.

The Gold/Green/Orange Priority Pass System — How Tasmania Selects

Tasmania's selection system is unlike any other state. Rather than ranking by EOI points or a separate Matrix score, Tasmania ranks ROIs by priority attribute score — a set of criteria specific to each pathway. The highest-ranked ROIs are invited weekly, and the invitation data is published publicly every week.

Priority pass levels
Priority Pass	What it means	How it behaves in the weekly round
Gold	Highest priority — you have worked in Tasmania for the last six months with at least one job providing a minimum (not average) 30 hours a week; jobs cannot be combined to meet the 30 hours, and Gold is limited to teaching (in a school), health and allied health occupations. Overseas pathway ROIs receive Gold automatically.	Invited first, but not automatically and not a guarantee. When Gold volume is high it can absorb nearly the whole round. And a Gold holder who does not actually meet the Gold attribute is declined at assessment, regardless of total score.
Green	High priority — Green 500 points: skilled Tasmanian employment for more than the last two years; Green 300: the last 18–24 months. Nine to twelve months is Orange (25 points), not Green.	Invited after Gold, from whatever places remain. Migration Tasmania publishes no timeframe, and in a heavy Gold week very few Green ROIs are reached.
Orange-plus	Above standard Orange — includes attributes such as high salary, business investment criteria, or 2+ years prior Australian industry experience.	Ranked above standard Orange within the same allocation period.
Orange	Standard priority — meets minimum requirements but lacks Gold, Green, or Orange-plus attributes.	Reached only when higher passes are exhausted. ROI expires after 6 months if not invited.

🛑 There is an income gate on the top three passes. To qualify for Gold, Green or Orange-plus priority attributes, your employment must meet Tasmania's priority income level — $57,000 a year or $28.85 an hour (checked 7 September 2026), calculated excluding overtime, penalty rates and casual loading. Below it you can still register, but the higher passes are closed to you regardless of how long you have worked or what your occupation is. The current figure is on the status page; confirm it at migration.tas.gov.au before you rely on it.

The pass is not the whole story — there is a score, and it is published

Tasmania publishes the lowest attribute score that received an invitation in each weekly round, separately for the 190 and the 491. Those two numbers are on completely different scales, so a 190 figure and a 491 figure are not comparable to each other and neither is your SkillSelect points score.

It publishes a second number as well: the lowest score required to gain nomination at assessment, as a rolling three-month average. That second number is usually higher than the invitation threshold. Which produces the trap below.

Invited is not nominated — the two-threshold trap

Migration Tasmania sets out what happens after you are invited, and it is unforgiving:

If every priority attribute you claimed is verified, nomination is approved. If one or more attributes are not verified and your score then falls below the lowest-score threshold, the application is declined.

So an ROI invited at the invitation threshold can still fail at assessment if an attribute does not hold up, because the assessment threshold sits above the invitation threshold. The margin between the two is your safety buffer, and it is published.

Two further declines are automatic. A Gold pass holder who does not meet the Gold priority attribute is declined regardless of total score. And a candidate found to have intentionally claimed priority attributes to artificially inflate their score is declined.

How to read the weekly data before you submit

Migration Tasmania's processing and invitations page publishes, every week: the number of 190 and 491 invitations issued and their pass breakdown; the lowest score invited for each; the number of ROIs on hand still sitting at Submitted; the nomination places remaining; applications lodged but not decided; invitations issued where no application has been lodged yet; and the date of the oldest application not yet allocated to a case officer.

Read together, those tell you three things no other state publishes: whether your score clears the current bar, how deep the queue ahead of you is, and how fast the department is actually working through it. Check them before you submit, not after.

Critical: Every ROI Lapses After 6 Months

Registration is free and valid for six months. If you are not selected to lodge a nomination application within six months, your ROI automatically lapses — whatever pass it holds. You must submit a new ROI.

This means the timing of your ROI submission matters. If your circumstances are expected to improve soon — for example, completing more months of Tasmanian employment — it may be better to wait and apply later with a stronger priority attribute score rather than submitting early with a lower pass.

Migration Tasmania publishes the weekly invitation round results, including the lowest attribute score that received an invitation. Always check current cut-off scores before submitting your ROI.

Tasmania's Nomination Pathways — Which One Applies to You?

Migration Tasmania offers distinct pathways for onshore and offshore applicants. All onshore pathways share the ROI and priority attribute system. Offshore pathways are limited, and Tasmania opens and closes them independently of each other.

Tasmanian nomination pathways
Pathway	Who it is for	Key requirements	Visa subclass
Tasmanian Skilled Employment (TSE)	Working in Tasmania in a skilled role	For the 190, your skills assessment must be on the TSE Priority Occupations list — a separate list from the occupation list \| Employment must be closely related: a role in the same ANZSCO 3-digit group as your skills assessment \| At least nine months in Tasmania (six months for teaching in a school, health or allied health occupations; 15 months on the Long-term Employment route) \| Genuine ongoing need, with a minimum 12-month contract and ≥3 months remaining when you apply \| Casual employment is allowed if it complies with Fair Work National Employment Standards \| Your employer must be a well-established business actively operating in Tasmania for the past 12 months \| You must genuinely intend to stay employed in Tasmania in your industry for 2 years after nomination	190 & 491
Tasmanian Skilled Graduate (TSG)	Graduated from a Tasmanian institution	Completed a qualifying qualification in Tasmania, studied full-time on site (no online or distance learning) \| Employment is NOT mandatory in the graduate pathways \| 190: two calendar years' Tasmanian residence from course start \| Living in TAS; dependants not interstate	190 & 491
Tasmanian Established Resident (TER)	Long-term TAS residents with TAS work history	Extended residence in Tasmania with skilled employment in TAS \| Specific criteria apply — read migration.tas.gov.au before applying \| Living in TAS; dependants not interstate	190 & 491
Tasmanian Business Operator (TBO)	Business owners operating in Tasmania	Sole owner or co-owner, business actively operating in TAS for ≥12 months \| Subcontractors and independent contractors are not eligible — they belong in TSE or TER \| Your ATO Business and Personal Income Statements must show the business ran at a net profit after your personal taxable income was deducted \| This pathway has no Gold or Green priority attributes at all — the top two passes do not exist for it	190 & 491
Overseas — Health/Education Job Offer	Offshore applicants with a TAS health or education job offer	Job offer from a Tasmanian employer in the health or education sector \| Standard Home Affairs visa criteria \| Not currently onshore in Australia	190 only
Overseas — Occupation Profiles (OSOP)	Offshore applicants in specific in-demand occupations	Invitation only — Migration Tasmania contacts candidates directly. You cannot enter this pathway by submitting an ROI. Availability changes by programme year — check the status page	491 only

TSE — Health & Teaching Reduced Requirement

If your skills assessment is for a teaching occupation (school-based) or a health or allied health occupation, the minimum Tasmanian Skilled Employment requirement is reduced below the standard six months.

Migration Tasmania publishes a dedicated Health, Allied Health and Teaching Occupations page, and a separate Subclass 190 TSE Priority Roles list. Check both — the reduction and the qualifying roles are set there, not in the general pathway criteria.

Businesses Tasmania will not accept

For the Business Operator pathway, and for claiming business-operator attributes in the Established Resident pathway, these are excluded outright:

Massage therapy where the operator has no verifiable health fund number and related skills assessment
Convenience stores — fewer than 20 employees, primarily selling food to go, drinks, barista coffee, snacks, confectionery, tobacco, basic groceries, ice, petrol or carwash
Franchises, including post offices and newsagents, and passive business investments
Subcontracting businesses, including parcel delivery contracting such as Australia Post or Aramex. These are accepted as employment where you hold a related skills assessment or two years' prior experience — but not as a business

A business that changed owners recently is also not "well-established" — the 12 months runs on the current ownership, not the trading name.

Three things that block a Tasmanian nomination outright

Self-employed or contracting? TSE needs a skills assessment directly related to the role or industry you work in, plus at least 12 months of business activity in Tasmania. Co-own with someone other than your spouse and hold a related assessment, and TSE may fit after 12 months of operation; if the assessment is unrelated, the Business Operator pathway is the route.
A debt to a Tasmanian Government agency. If you or any family member owes fees to a Tasmanian Government agency — education or health, for example — the debt must be paid or a payment plan accepted before you seek nomination. This applies to family members who are not applying with you.
Dependants living in another state or territory. They may live overseas, but not interstate — and if they have relocated from another state, they must have moved to Tasmania at least three months before you apply for nomination. Arriving the week before does not fix it.
False or misleading information. Migration Tasmania can withdraw a nomination at any time if it finds false or misleading information was provided — and that expressly includes claims made in the ROI, not just the nomination application.

Meeting the published minimums does not guarantee nomination. Migration Tasmania states that only the most competitive Registrations of Interest are selected, and that the Australian Government sets a quota which limits how many candidates can be nominated. You must also have been eligible to claim every priority attribute at the time you claimed it in the ROI, and be able to evidence every claim in the nomination application.

Eligibility Requirements — Tasmania

You must meet both Department of Home Affairs visa criteria AND Migration Tasmania's nomination requirements. Meeting federal criteria alone is not sufficient.

What Tasmania requires, by requirement
Requirement	Detail
Age	Must not have turned 45 at the time of invitation to apply for the visa — a Home Affairs criterion (Sch 1 items 1229/1241), not a state one. Nomination comes first; the age test falls at the later invitation date.
Points — Subclass 190	65 total, including the 5 nomination points Tasmania adds
Points — Subclass 491	65 total, including the 15 nomination points Tasmania adds
Occupation	Nominated occupation must be on the relevant Department list of eligible skilled occupations. Individual pathways have their own occupation requirements — verify at migration.tas.gov.au
Skills assessment	Valid and positive skills assessment for your nominated occupation. Provisional assessments are not accepted
English language	At least Competent English
Employment (TSE)	≥9 months in TAS (6 months for teaching in a school, health or allied health; 15 months Long-term Employment); employment within the same ANZSCO 3-digit group as your skills assessment; genuine ongoing position with a 12-month contract, ≥3 months remaining at nomination
Employment (health/teaching — TSE)	Reduced requirement for eligible health, allied health and teaching occupations — check the Health, Allied Health and Teaching Occupations page and the Subclass 190 TSE Priority Roles list
Dependants	Must be living in Tasmania — not in another Australian state or territory
Government debt	You and your family members must have no unpaid debt to a Tasmanian Government agency, or a payment plan must be accepted. Applies to family members who are not applying with you
Two-year commitment	You undertake to live in Tasmania for at least 2 years after your nomination is approved
491 re-nomination block	Candidates nominated for a 491 will not be renominated for a permanent 190 by Tasmania. The route to PR from a 491 is the Subclass 191 after three years
ROI — Gold / Green / Orange-plus / Orange / Red	Your ROI is assigned a priority pass based on the attributes claimed. You must have been eligible to claim each attribute at the time of the ROI. Only the most competitive ROIs are invited. A Red pass means you do not meet the minimum requirements. Every ROI lapses after 6 months
Evidence and integrity	Every claim must be evidenced in the nomination application. Nomination can be withdrawn at any time for false or misleading information, including information in the ROI
Response window	Lodge the nomination application by the due date in your invitation — Migration Tasmania publishes no fixed number of days. The only 60-day figure in the process is the federal SkillSelect visa window after nomination

How to Apply — Tasmania State Nomination

1. Check eligibility and identify your pathway: Confirm you meet Home Affairs visa criteria AND Migration Tasmania nomination requirements. Identify which pathway applies: TSE (working in TAS), TSG (TAS graduate), TER (established resident), TBO (business operator), or overseas (health/education job offer for 190 only). Read the Additional Information, Exclusions and Definitions section before you register — it governs how your claims are assessed.

2. Submit your SkillSelect EOI: Lodge your Expression of Interest in SkillSelect and select Tasmania as your preferred state. Keep your EOI current — you must meet all Home Affairs criteria from ROI submission through to the nomination date.

3. Create a Gateway account and submit your ROI: Create an account at the Migration Tasmania Application Gateway, apply.migration.tas.gov.au, and submit your Registration of Interest. You will receive an email confirming your ROI and your priority pass. The highest-ranked ROIs are invited weekly. Only claim an attribute you were eligible for at the time — a wrong claim can cost you the nomination later, even after it is approved.

4. Monitor weekly invitation results: Migration Tasmania publishes weekly invitation round data, including the lowest attribute score that received an invitation. This tells you how competitive your pass is in the current programme environment. Every ROI lapses after 6 months.

5. Respond within 28 days and submit your visa application: If invited, log back into your Gateway account, upload all required supporting documents, and pay the service fee within 28 days. If nomination is approved, the Department issues your visa invitation and you have 60 days to lodge your visa application.

Common Mistakes — Tasmania Skilled Migration

Most Tasmania applications fail for very predictable reasons
Dependants living interstate. Employment not within the same ANZSCO 3-digit group as skills assessment. Submitting an ROI too early with a low pass when waiting would yield a higher pass. Not checking weekly invitation data before applying. Choosing the wrong pathway.

Dependants living in another Australian state — this is a hard eligibility block. Dependants must be residing in Tasmania before you apply for nomination. This is one of Tasmania's strictest and least-understood requirements
Employment not within the same ANZSCO 3-digit group as your skills assessment — Tasmania's TSE pathway requires employment closely related to your skills assessment. Working as a Project Manager (2132) with a skills assessment for Computer Network Professional (2631) will not satisfy the requirement
Submitting with an Orange pass when waiting would qualify for Green or Gold — your ROI gets one priority pass that does not improve over time. If completing 3 more months of Tasmanian employment would earn you a Gold pass, wait and submit with Gold rather than submitting now with Orange
Not monitoring the weekly cut-off scores — Migration Tasmania publishes what scores were invited each week, alongside the ROIs on hand and places remaining. Before submitting, check whether your score clears the current bar and how deep the queue ahead of you is
Treating an invitation as a nomination. The score needed at assessment is higher than the score needed for an invitation. If a claimed attribute is not verified and you drop below it, the application is declined
Being nominated for 491 and expecting to get 190 later — if Tasmania nominates you for 491, you cannot be re-nominated for 190 through Tasmania. The pathway to permanent residency from 491 is through Subclass 191 after meeting 3-year regional requirements
Using migrationtasmania.com.au as the official source — this is a private law firm's website, not the Tasmanian Government portal. The official government source is migration.tas.gov.au and the official application gateway is apply.migration.tas.gov.au
Assuming the overseas 491 pathway (OSOP) is open — it is invitation only, and Tasmania decides each programme year whether to issue invitations under it at all. You cannot enter it by submitting an ROI
Leaving an unpaid Tasmanian Government debt outstanding — yours or a family member's, including family members not applying with you. It blocks nomination until it is paid or a payment plan is accepted
Assuming you cannot use a 190 pathway because you cannot get a 190 visa. Where you meet a Subclass 190 pathway's requirements but are not eligible for the visa itself — the skills assessment does not qualify, or your points fall short — Tasmania asks you to register under the 190 pathway anyway, with a clearly labelled document explaining the position. It assesses the application and, if approved, nominates you for a 491 instead. Ruling yourself out costs you the pathway.
Overstating a priority attribute in the ROI. You must have been eligible to claim it at the time. Migration Tasmania can withdraw a nomination at any time for false or misleading information, and that expressly covers the ROI

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Tasmania program open right now?

Check before you rely on an answer, and check at pathway level. Tasmania opens and closes individual pathways independently — the overseas 491 pathway can be shut while the onshore pathways run, and Tasmania can pause invitations for lower passes while it processes applications on hand. Current status by state and pathway is on our state nomination status page, and Migration Tasmania publishes weekly invitation data on its own site. Whatever the status, note that meeting the minimums never guarantees nomination — only the most competitive ROIs are selected.

Is Hobart regional for Subclass 491?

Yes. Metropolitan Hobart — and every other Tasmanian postcode — is classified as a designated regional area under the Department of Home Affairs regional framework. Tasmania is the only state where the entire jurisdiction qualifies as regional, including the capital city. Verify your specific postcode against the Home Affairs regional postcode list before applying.

What is the Gold/Green/Orange priority pass system?

When you submit a Registration of Interest, Migration Tasmania assesses your priority attributes, assigns a pass, and gives you an attribute score. Gold is invited first, then Green, Orange-plus and Orange from whatever places remain; a Red pass means the minimum nomination requirements are not met and you cannot apply. Migration Tasmania does not publish a timeframe for any pass — what it publishes instead, every week, is the lowest score that actually received an invitation for the 190 and for the 491. In a week heavy with Gold ROIs, very few lower passes are reached at all. Every ROI lapses after 6 months if not invited. You must have been eligible to claim each attribute at the time you claimed it.

If Tasmania nominates me for 491, can I later apply for Tasmania 190?

No. Migration Tasmania states that candidates nominated for a Subclass 491 visa will not be renominated for a permanent Subclass 190 by Tasmania in the future. If your strategy begins with 491, your pathway to permanent residency is the Subclass 191 after meeting three years of regional residence and income requirements — not a fresh 190 nomination from Tasmania.

Can my partner and children be in another state when I apply?

No. Migration Tasmania requires that your dependants are not living in another Australian state or territory. They must have moved and settled in Tasmania before you apply for nomination. This is one of Tasmania's strictest requirements and is different from most other states. Some limited circumstances may apply — check the Additional Information, Exclusions and Definitions section at migration.tas.gov.au before applying.

What is the TSE pathway and who qualifies?

The Tasmanian Skilled Employment (TSE) pathway is for applicants currently living and working in Tasmania in a skilled role. You must have been working in Tasmania for at least 6 months at 20+ hours per week, in a role within the same ANZSCO 3-digit group as your skills assessment, in a genuine ongoing position with a 12-month contract with at least 3 months remaining at nomination. Health, allied health and teaching occupations have a reduced employment requirement — Migration Tasmania sets that out on its Health, Allied Health and Teaching Occupations page and its Subclass 190 TSE Priority Roles list.

Is the overseas 491 pathway (OSOP) open?

It is invitation only in every programme year, and Tasmania decides separately each year whether to issue invitations under it at all. Migration Tasmania contacts eligible overseas candidates directly — you cannot enter the pathway by submitting an ROI. The offshore 190 pathway, which needs a Tasmanian health or education sector job offer, is a separate route. Check the status page for the current position.

How often does Tasmania issue invitations?

Weekly. Tasmania is unique among Australian states and territories in conducting weekly invitation rounds and publishing weekly data on the lowest attribute scores that resulted in an invitation. Checking that data before submitting your ROI is strongly recommended, because it tells you whether your pass is competitive right now rather than in theory.

What happens if my ROI expires?

Every ROI lapses automatically 6 months after submission if no invitation has been issued. You must then complete a new ROI through the Gateway, and a new submission date applies. Reassess your attribute score at the time of resubmission — your circumstances may have changed, with more employment months or a higher salary, and a stronger pass changes your timeline more than anything else you control.

If I am invited, am I nominated?

Not yet. Migration Tasmania publishes two separate thresholds: the lowest score that received an invitation in the weekly round, and the lowest score required to gain nomination at assessment, expressed as a rolling three-month average. The second is usually higher. If every priority attribute you claimed is verified, nomination is approved. If an attribute is not verified and your score then falls below the threshold, the application is declined. A Gold pass holder who does not actually meet the Gold attribute is declined regardless of total score, and anyone found to have intentionally claimed attributes to inflate their score is declined.

Can a Tasmanian nomination be taken away after it is approved?

Yes. Migration Tasmania may withdraw a nomination at any time if it finds that false or misleading information was provided in support of the nomination application — and it states expressly that this includes claims made in the Registration of Interest, not only the nomination application itself. Separately, an unpaid debt to a Tasmanian Government agency, held by you or a family member including one not applying with you, must be paid or under an accepted payment plan before nomination.

In Tasmania, when you submit matters as much as what you submit.

Your ROI gets one priority pass and it does not improve with time. A free eligibility check tells you which pathway fits and whether waiting would earn you a better pass.
