Selected Questions and Answers

Q: I meet multiple priority attributes that relate to my work experience. Can I claim them all?

• Yes, you can claim all the priority attributes that accurately describe your situation. It is important to read the attribute wording carefully to ensure it fits your situation
• For example, if the priority attribute states that your eligible employment is for more than six months but less than 12 months, you cannot claim the attribute if you have been employed for 15 months.
• If you are invited to apply for nomination and you have claimed priority attributes that do not fit your situation, your nomination application may be declined.

Q: I have been living in Tasmania for four years. Which priority attribute can I claim?

• You can only claim the one priority attribute that fits your particular situation.
• For example, if you have lived in Tasmania for four years, but not quite five years, you could only claim the priority attribute “You have lived in Tasmania continuously for at least four but less than five years”
• You also could not claim a priority attribute that refers to a shorter time period, such as living in Tasmania for three but less than four years).

Q: I meet the nomination requirements for multiple pathways but score different points for each. Which pathway should I submit an ROI for?

You should choose the pathway that gives you the highest priority attribute score. The highest scoring ROIs are invited to apply for nomination. Migration Tasmania does not prioritise a particular pathway over others.

Website updates

The following updates and clarifications have been made to nomination requirements, priority attributes and guidance on the Migration Tasmania website:

Tasmanian Skilled Graduate pathway – subclass 190 minimum requirements

• Applicants must have lived in Tasmania for at least two years while studying to be eligible for nomination

Tasmanian Established Resident pathways – priority attribute

• Candidates who have been employed for at least six months in a role directly related to their skills assessment or Tasmanian study (with a minimum qualification of Certificate III), and who earn less than $57,000 per year or $28.85 per hour, are eligible to claim the related priority attribute. However, the website previously incorrectly stated a 12-month limit, suggesting that the attribute could not be claimed if the candidate had worked in the role for more than 12 months.

Tasmanian Skilled Graduate and Tasmanian Established Resident - priority attribute:

“You have been employed in Tasmania for the past three to nine months in a role that is not related to your skills assessment, currently earning a base salary of at least $57,000 per year (or $28.85 per hour).

​​​​​​This attribute has been updated to specify that it can only be claimed by candidates who have worked in the relevant role for a period of at least three months but less than nine months. Candidates who have been employed for longer than nine months may instead claim the higher-scoring attribute: “employed for longer than the last nine months, but less than two years.”
