Key Changes and Updates:
- Introduction of “Orange-Plus” Category: A significant update this year is the introduction of the “orange-plus” category. This new category aims to better identify and prioritize candidates whose skills and attributes closely match the state’s current needs.
- Expansion of the Tasmanian Onshore Skilled Occupation List (TOSOL): The Tasmanian Onshore Skilled Occupation List (TOSOL) now includes 18 new occupation groups. This expansion is intended to attract a wider range of skilled professionals, to meet the evolving demands of Tasmania’s economy.
- Revised Fee Structure: The application fee for the program has been increased to $360 (plus GST). However, submitting an ROI remains free of charge, ensuring that potential applicants can express their interest without any financial burden.
Eligibility and Application Process
Candidates with “orange-plus” attributes will be given priority for nomination. Despite these changes, the program will continue to accept all occupations listed under the Australian Government’s subclass 190 and 491 lists. This ensures a diverse range of skilled professionals can still apply for state nomination.
Guidance and Resources
Comprehensive guidance on the new criteria, including essential roles and employment eligibility, is available on the Migration Tasmania website. Applicants are encouraged to review these guidelines carefully to understand the new requirements and ensure they meet the criteria.
Transition Period
Applications that were invited before, the changes will be processed under the previous rules. New ROIs submitted on or after August 1, 2024, will be subject to the updated guidelines. This transition period ensures clarity for applicants regarding which rules apply to their submissions.
Conclusion
The updates to the 2024-25 Skilled Migration State Nomination Program demonstrate Tasmania’s commitment to attracting skilled talent to support its economic growth. The new “orange-plus” category and expanded TOSOL are expected to bring a more diverse and skilled workforce to the state. Prospective migrants are advised to familiarize themselves with these changes and prepare their ROIs accordingly.
