The Tasmanian Skilled Migration State Nomination Program made the news public on Wednesday, 12 April 2023.
Minor adjustment to nomination quotas – 150 more subclass 190 places available
The Tasmanian government just announced on Wednesday, April 12, 2023, that the Department of Home Affairs has made a minor adjustment to Tasmania’s nomination quotas to help manage the unexpectedly high demand for Tasmania subclass 190 nominations.
The subclass 190 nomination quota for Tasmanian Skilled Migration has been increased by 150 places, while our subclass 491 quota has been reduced by the same amount.
Tasmania’s final programme year allocation for 2022-23 is:
- Skilled Nominated Visa Subclass 190: 2,150 places
- Subclass 491 Regional Skilled Work Visa: 2,100 places
This minor change allows them to ensure that nominations are fair and equitable throughout the programme.
This change will have no effect on the competitive threshold for subclass 491 invitation and nomination. Visit migration.tas.gov.au for more information on Tasmania’s minor adjustment to nomination quotas.
Program status update – no plans to close.
Tasmanian Skilled Migration State Nomination will not close to new registrations of interest or nomination applications. Invitations to apply for nomination will be issued throughout the remainder of the 2022-23 program year and into the 2023-24 program year.
