The 2024-25 Skilled Migration State Nomination Program will open for Registrations of Interest (ROIs) at 12 pm on 1 August 2024. This year's program introduces new eligibility criteria, policy updates, and a revised fee structure. Key changes include modifications to priority attributes, with the introduction of an "orange-plus" category, and an expansion of the Tasmanian Onshore Skilled Occupation List (TOSOL) by adding 18 new occupation groups. The application fee has increased to $360 (plus GST), but there is no cost to submit an ROI.
The program will prioritize candidates with "orange-plus" attributes for nomination and continues to accept all occupations listed under the Australian Government's subclass 190 and 491 lists. Detailed guidance on the new criteria, including critical roles and employment eligibility, is available on the Migration Tasmania website. Applications invited before the changes will be processed under the old rules, while new ROIs will follow the updated guidelines starting August 1, 2024.
