Tasmanian Skilled
Migration State Nomination Program Update 12 April 2023
Minor adjustment to
nomination quotas 150 more subclass 190
places available
To help manage the
unexpectedly high demand for Tasmania subclass 190 nomination, the Department
of Home Affairs has made a minor adjustment to Tasmania s nomination quotas.
Subclass 190
nomination quota has been increased by 150 places, while subclass 491 quota has
between reduced by the same amount.
Tasmania s final
2022-23 program year allocation is:
Subclass 190
Skilled Nominated visa 2,150 places
Subclass 491
Skilled Work Regional visa 2,100 places
This minor change
means that they can ensure nominations are fair and equitable across the
program.
This adjustment
will not have any significant effect upon the competitive threshold for
subclass 491 invitation and nomination.
Program status
update - no plans to close
The Tasmanian
Skilled Migration State Nomination will not close to new registrations of
interest or applications for nomination. Invitations to apply for nomination
will continue to be issued throughout the remainder of 2022-23 and into the
2023-24 program year.
