Tasmanian Onshore Skilled Occupation List (TOSOL)


The following occupations are used to determine eligibility for subclass 190 nomination in the Tasmanian Skilled Employment – TOSOL option nomination pathway. They are also used to prioritise registrations of interest in the Migration Tasmania Gateway.

Unless stated otherwise, the caveats listed for some occupations are also required to obtain Gold or Green priority attributes in all pathways. Refer to the “Additional information, exclusions and definitions” document for more information.

This document is not an authoritative list of the current or most pressing skills or workforce shortage areas in Tasmania.

The National Skills Commission conducts ongoing research and publishes data regarding trends in the Australian job market, including workforce needs in Tasmania. For more information visit the Labour Market Insights portal.

This list will be updated upon the next release of the National Skills Commission’s Skills Priority List.

Note:

  1. Occupations that are not listed below are eligible for subclass 190 nomination in the Tasmanian Skilled Employment pathway after 15 months of related employment. They are also eligible for nomination in the Tasmanian Skilled Graduate, Established Resident, Business Operator and Overseas Applicant (Job Offer) pathways.
  2. Candidates may have a skills assessment* and an employment role within the same four-digit group to be considered for subclass 190 nomination in the Tasmanian Skilled Employment Pathway. Where an occupation is not on the Home Affairs skilled occupation lists and a skills assessment is not available for that role, candidates may have a skills assessment for one of the occupations in the group that is listed.

    For example, an applicant who holds a skills assessment for “232212 Surveyor” could be working in any of the roles listed in the “2322 Surveyors and Spatial Scientists” group to meet the subclass 190 nomination requirement.

    *Refer to the Department of Home Affairs’ Skilled Occupation List for skills assessment authority details.

  3. Where stated, full CPA, CA, IPA, ACCA, CFA, CIMA membership is required. This does not include associate membership or the migration skills assessment.
