Tasmania’s Migration State Growth division published results of its 26 February 2026 invitation round, allocating 64 state nomination invitations across the Subclass 190 and Subclass 491 visas. Forty candidates received Subclass 190 invitations with a lowest invited score of 47 points, while 24 candidates secured Subclass 491 invitations at a minimum 41-point threshold. The state still has 629 nomination places left for Subclass 190 and 454 for Subclass 491 this program year, signalling ample capacity for high-quality applicants. However, competition remains intense: 476 Registrations of Interest (ROIs) are on hand for Subclass 190 and 231 for Subclass 491, with hundreds more applications under assessment. Tasmania’s points profile demonstrates its preference for genuine regional commitment over sky-high scores, rewarding applicants with local study, work experience or critical skills in health, hospitality and construction. Migration agents say the relatively moderate cut-offs make Tasmania one of the most accessible pathways to permanent residence, but warn that documentation must emphasise regional employability. For employers facing chronic shortages, the round provides a fresh pool of pre-screened talent already committed to settling in-state.
