If you possess skills, experience and personal qualities which can contribute to our economy Economic Development and Tourism invites you to consider migrating to Tasmania under the Skilled Regional Sponsored (SRS) visa scheme.
IMMIGRATION REQUIREMENTS
The Department of Immigration and Citizenship's (DIAC) website contains information on the SRS visa program. Click here for the Subclass 475 Provisional visa, or click here for the Subclass 487 Provisional visa.
The SRS visa does not offer immediate permanent residency but a three-year provisional visa. Once you and your dependants have resided in Tasmania for at least two years under the SRS visa and you have been employed (or self employed) full time for a cumulative period of 12 months during that time, you can apply for permanent residence under the Skilled - Regional visa scheme (subclass 887).

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS IN ORDER TO APPLY FOR TASMANIAN SRS SPONSORSHIP
Please be aware that meeting the following requirements does not guarantee state sponsorship. Applications will be assessed on your demonstrated ability to settle and secure skilled employment easily in Tasmania. Economic Development and Tourism reserves the right to modify conditions/requirements of sponsorship without notice subject to labour market changes and economic conditions. Please also be aware that state sponsorship does not guarantee DIAC will issue a visa.
Application Criteria differ between applicants applying for the subclass 475 (offshore SRS) or the subclass 487 (onshore SRS) visa.
Subclass 475
If you are applying for Tasmanian SRS (subclass 475) sponsorship you must:
score at least 90 points (excluding 10 points for State sponsorship) in the Australian Government’s skilled migration points test;
have a positive skills assessment from a recognised Australian assessing authority, and:
- your occupation is on the Tasmanian SRS occupations list and you meet any specialisations/requirements applicable to your occupation; or
- you have a full time, skilled job offer in your nominated occupation of at least 3 months from a Tasmanian employer; or
- you recently graduated from a Tasmanian educational institution and returned to your home country but are still eligible for DIAC’s “work experience exemption” based on the recent two year full time study.
have at least 12 months recent work experience in your nominated (or a closely related) occupation unless exempted based on recent study in Tasmania; and
meet the English language requirements relevant to your nominated occupation (see SRSO list). Note: levels of English required for Tasmanian SRS sponsorship are generally higher than Immigration and/or skills assessment requirements. Some professions such as communications professionals require particularly high levels of English.
Subclass 487 (former overseas students)
If you are applying for Tasmanian SRS (subclass 487) sponsorship from inside Australia as a former overseas student you must be:
a new graduate of a Tasmanian educational institution; or
a new graduate of an Australian educational institution with a skilled, full time job offer of at least three months from a Tasmanian employer;
(Note: If you require a skilled job offer, you may want to consider applying for a Skilled Graduate visa (subclass 485). The 485 visa may make it easier for you to apply for skilled work in Tasmania in order to become eligible to apply for Tasmanian SRS sponsorship.)
score at least 90 points (excluding 10 points for State sponsorship) in the Australian Government’s skilled migration points test;
must have applied for a skills assessment from a recognised Australian assessing authority in any occupation on the Australian Government’s Skilled Occupation List (SOL) and be able to meet any specialisations/requirements applicable to your occupation; and
Meet DIAC’s minimum English language requirements (depending on your nominated occupation).
Subclass 487 (working holiday makers or occupational trainees)
If you are applying for Tasmanian SRS (subclass 487) sponsorship from inside Australia as a working holiday maker or occupational trainee, you must:
have worked (in any occupation) for at least 3 months in Tasmania;
your occupation is on the Tasmanian SRS occupations list and you meet any specialisations/requirements applicable to your occupation; or
- you have a skilled, full time job offer in your nominated occupation of at least 3 months from a Tasmanian employer;
meet the English language requirements relevant to your nominated occupation (see SRSO list). Note: levels of English required for Tasmanian SRS sponsorship are generally higher than Immigration and/or skills assessment requirements. Some professions such as communications professionals require particularly high levels of English.
CONCESSIONAL ENGLISH
‘Concessional Competent English’ - an average band score of at least 5.5 based on all four components in the IELTS test - is only available to new graduates who studied in Tasmania and meet all other sponsorship criteria.
Concessional English for offshore tradespeople ceased to be offered in November 2008. All applications under review at this time are affected by the change.
Note: New graduates who cannot provide IELTS results (due to the backlog at IELTS test centres) may request a conditional sponsorship based on sound academic performance (i.e. average mark of 60 or higher). Such applicants must inform Economic Development and Tourism of IELTS results when obtained.
HOW TO APPLY
Australia’s regions, their economies and employment opportunities for skilled migrants vary greatly and not all migrant’s will find that their skills are needed in Tasmania. If you are considering settling in Tasmania, you should carefully research the state’s employment vacancies to ensure that your skills and experience will help you gain skilled employment soon after you settle.
