Migration Tasmania – 2021–22 Program Update

Migration Tasmania – 2021–22 Program Update

Limited quota remaining – focus on priority cases first

Tasmania’s nomination quota for the 2021–22 program year is:

• Subclass 491 – 2200 places – 1274 places used

• Subclass 190 – 1100 places – 731 places used

*updated 15 February 2022

Managing remaining quota

We have received around 1000 new applications since December.
With less than 1300 places remaining and around 1300 applications for nomination yet to be finalised we are very likely to significantly exceed available quota.

To manage this, and to ensure we continue to nominate those candidates who can best contribute to Tasmanian business’ skills needs, Migration Tasmania will focus on the following three priorities:

• Candidates with employment and a skills assessment related to critical roles (health, allied health, infrastructure, and engineering), and a skills assessment directly In line with that role

• Candidates with employment and skills assessment related to the Tasmanian Skilled Occupation List.

• Candidates with employment directly related to their nominated skills assessment (eg, skills assessment as a Chef, working as a chef)

Remaining applications deemed suitable will be ranked competitively and considered for any remaining nomination places.
Outcomes for applicants who are not in these three priority areas may not be available until later in the program year, which ends on June 30, 2022.

Migration Tasmania is investigating with the Department of Home Affairs the possibility of additional quota. However, there is no guarantee this will be made available.
We will constantly review this approach in coming months according to the number of applications received and the quota remaining.

Employment in Tasmania

Employment must be with a well-established Tasmanian business* that has been operating in Tasmania for at least 12 months. Employment must be full-time for the Working in Tasmania categories but can be part-time (a minimum 20 hours) for Tasmanian Graduates, if that employment has been of at least 3 months duration.

A well-established business actively operating in Tasmania is expected to have:

• permanent business signage;

• active/ongoing online presence, advertising and marketing;

• a Tasmanian address as a registered business location;

• a local landline contact number

• an ongoing office space (not a residential address) that is not ‘casual’ or ‘virtual’ (including corporate/co-shared offices); and

• permanent representation of employees at the stated business location.
