All skills assessments are eligible for these pathways.
Before you register your interest or apply for nomination, please ensure that you have read all relevant information for the pathway, including:
- Minimum requirements for nomination
- Priority attributes for the pathway
- Additional information, exclusions and definitions
- Required documents
If you meet the Subclass 190 pathway requirements but are not eligible for a Subclass 190 visa due to your skills assessment or insufficient SkillSelect points, you can still submit a Registration of Interest and apply under the Subclass 190 pathway. Your application will be assessed and, if approved, you may be nominated for a Subclass 491 visa instead. Please provide a statement outlining your request to be considered for a Subclass 491 nomination if this applies to you.
Subclass 190 - Tasmanian Skilled Graduate (TSG)
- You must have completed a course with a Tasmanian tertiary institution registered on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) and received a completion letter.
- Study must have been full-time and on-site in Tasmania (at least 75% of a full-time load per semester; no online or distance learning).
- Your course must have been:
- Listed on CRICOS with a minimum duration of 92 weeks, and
- AQF 5 (Diploma) or higher, or
- at least Certificate III related to an OSCA Major Group 3 or Group 4 occupation
- You must have lived in Tasmania for at least two calendar years from the start of your course and throughout your studies.
- VET courses must include at least 15 contact hours per week, unless the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) specifies otherwise.
- Credit transfers do not count toward full-time study hours.
- PhD candidates who did not complete their undergraduate studies in Tasmania are eligible after living in Tasmania for two years and completing two years of their PhD.
- You must currently live in Tasmania and intend to stay.
Dependant family members must not be living in another Australian state or territory other than Tasmania.
They may be currently living overseas.
If they have relocated from another state or territory, they must have moved to Tasmania at least three months before applying for nomination.
The following attributes are used to rank Registrations of Interest. Only the most competitive candidates are invited to apply for nomination.
To qualify for gold, green or orange-plus priority attributes, your employment must meet the priority income level of $57,000/year or $28.85/hour salary threshold (excluding overtime, penalty rates or casual loading).
To claim any priority attributes, candidates must meet all aspects of the claimed priority attribute before they lodge their ROI. Failure to do so may result in any subsequent nomination application being declined.
Candidates may use only one current job to claim a priority attribute. Multiple concurrent jobs cannot be combined to claim different priority attributes.
The only exceptions are:
- Minimum hours requirement – Multiple concurrent jobs may be combined to meet Green, Orange Plus and Orange minimum hours thresholds.
- Experience requirement – Multiple sequential jobs may be combined to meet an experience threshold.
In both exceptions, every job counted toward the total must independently meet the attribute being claimed.
Candidates with at least one orange-plus priority attribute are considered a high priority. After Gold and Green pass holders, they will be the first Orange pass candidates invited to apply for nomination.
UPDATES
This page was updated on 7 August 2026 with the following:
- An error was corrected where the Orange priority attribute "You have worked in Tasmania for the last 9 – 18 months in a role that matches neither your skills assessment nor Tasmanian study, and you meet the priority income level (at least $57,000 per year, or a base rate of $28.85 per hour).", incorrectly referred to two years.
- References to "does not match your skills assessment or Tasmanian study" were updated for clarity to "matches neither your skills assessment nor Tasmanian study".
It was updated on 14 August 2026 to clarify that generally only one current job can be used to claim priority attributes.
