Tasmania Skilled Occupation List 2019-2020
Tasmanian Skilled Occupation List (TSOL) identifies skills that are currently in demand in Tasmania and is derived from the list of eligible occupations for the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) and Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491).
The occupations listed have been identified by the Tasmanian Government as areas of skills shortage in the State, based on the extent of evidence currently available.
What has changed?
On Saturday, 16 November 2019 the Department of Home Affairs closed the subclass 489 Skilled Regional (Provisional) visa to new applicants, and introduced the subclass 491 Skilled Work (Regional) visa.
To reflect this change and to incorporate recommendations from key stakeholders Migration Tasmania has introduced new and updated requirements for both subclass 491 and 190 nomination.
