Tasmania's skilled migration program is for people who want to move to or settle in the state who have skills that we need. Skilled migrants are attracted to Tasmania because of the state's enviable lifestyle, career opportunities, reputable schools and a globally recognised university.

The Tasmanian Government actively seeks skilled and business migrants in recognition of the significant contribution migrants make to Tasmania’s economy and cultural diversity.
