Tasmania continues to invite skilled migrants through its state nomination program, which offers pathways for professionals who want to live and work in the state.
According to the latest update, the most recent invitation round was conducted on 5 March 2026, where candidates who had submitted their Registration of Interest (ROI) were invited to apply for state nomination.
Tasmania operates on a weekly invitation system, which means eligible applicants may receive invitations throughout the program based on their profile, occupation demand, and available nomination places.
Tasmania Invitation Round – Key Figures (5 March 2026)
In this latest round, a total of 61 ROIs were invited across Subclass 190 and Subclass 491 visa categories. Even candidates with moderate points scores are receiving invitations, particularly under the regional visa pathway, which means this route remains an important option for skilled professionals seeking Australian migration opportunities.
| Visa Subclass | Visa Type | Invitations Issued | Lowest Points Invited | Pass Category |
| Subclass 190 | Skilled Nominated Visa | 35 ROIs invited | 49 Points | Orange Pass |
| Subclass 491 | Skilled Work Regional Visa | 26 ROIs invited | 41 Points | Orange Pass |
Note: Here, Orange Pass means the lowest priority category in Tasmania’s ROI ranking system. Tasmania ranks applicants based on its own priority attributes, where Gold Pass receives the highest priority for invitations.
Current ROI Pool vs Available Nomination Places (2025–26 Program Year)
| Visa Subclass | ROIs Currently in the Pool | Nomination Places Available |
| Subclass 190 | 425 ROIs | 595 places |
| Subclass 491 | 182 ROIs | 435 places |
This comparison shows that for Subclass 190, the number of available nomination places and waiting ROIs is relatively close, meaning competition may become tighter in the future as more applicants will enter the pool.
However, for Subclass 491, the situation is quite different. The number of nomination places available is significantly higher than the number of ROIs currently waiting in the system. This suggests that eligible candidates under this pathway may still have strong chances of receiving an invitation in upcoming rounds.
