TAS

Tasmania nomination

Tasmania has built its program around genuine, evidenced commitment to the state rather than raw points. Long-term residence, study in Tasmania, and established local employment have all carried real weight.

What connection they want

Tasmania has run streams for Tasmanian graduates, for people already working in Tasmania, and for offshore applicants with job offers - with residence and employment periods that are checked carefully.

How the program behaves

Tasmania has been comparatively achievable for people with modest points scores who can demonstrate they actually live and work there.
It has also been strict about genuineness, and has refused nominations where the commitment looked like a points exercise.

Watch for thisTasmania rewards people who genuinely move there and penalises people who treat it as a loophole. Both of those are deliberate.

Regional postcodes in TAS

These are the designated regional area postcodes for Tasmania, as published by the Department of Home Affairs. Category 2 and Category 3 are both regional; anything not listed is Category 1 and attracts no regional concessions.

Category 2 Cities and major regional centres	7000, 7004–7026, 7030–7109, 7140–7151, 7170–7177
Category 3 Regional centres and other regional areas	All remaining postcodes in Tasmania.

Every postcode in Tasmania is regional. Hobart is Category 2; everywhere else is Category 3.

Copied and verified here on 21 July 2026. Postcode boundaries are set by legislative instrument and do change - confirm against the official page before relying on this for a visa application.

Why there are no occupation lists or point thresholds on this pageState nomination criteria change several times a year, sometimes mid-year and usually without notice. A list copied here would be wrong within months, and a wrong list is worse than no list. What you get instead is the durable shape of each program, plus a direct link to the official source for the detail. Reviewed 21 July 2026.

Before you commit to TAS

Confirm your occupation appears on the current TAS list - state lists are much narrower than the national list.
Get your skills assessment and English test done. Most states will not consider you without them.
Work out your points score, then check it against what TAS has recently invited.
Check whether TAS requires its own registration separate from your SkillSelect EOI.
Be honest about the commitment. Nomination is granted on the basis that you will live and work there.

Registered migration agents

We are building a directory of MARN-registered agents and immigration lawyers. Listings are checked against the public register before they appear.

How the directory works

General information, not migration advice. myPRJourney summarises publicly available information about Australian visas so you can understand your options. It does not assess your case, and it is not a substitute for advice from a registered migration agent (MARN) or Australian legal practitioner. Migration rules, occupation lists, income thresholds and state nomination criteria change frequently and sometimes without notice. This page was last reviewed on 21 July 2026.
