• You must have been working in Tasmania for six months immediately prior to your application.
• Your employment must average at least 20 hours per week over the six-month period immediately prior to lodging your application.

Long-term employment option - all occupations eligible for this pathway

For both options

• Your employment must average at least 20 hours per week over the six-month period immediately prior to lodging your application.
• You must currently be living in Tasmania and intend to continue living in Tasmania (your dependents must not be living in another Australian state or territory).

• There must be a genuine, ongoing need for your position within the business (including a minimum 12-month contract with at least three months remaining at the time you apply for nomination).

Your employer must be a well-established business that has been actively operating in Tasmania for the past 12 months.
