Interim opening – common reasons for not being invited to apply for nomination

By Migration Tasmania

In the current stage of the Tasmanian Skilled Migration State Nomination program, candidates must meet the minimum requirements for one of the nomination pathways published on the Migration Tasmania website, and have at least one of the gold or green attributes listed for that pathway.

Candidates who do not meet the minimum requirements or have a green or gold attribute will not be invited to apply for nomination and will not be contacted.

Common reasons candidates have not been invited during this stage include:

  • Did not meet minimum eligibility requirements.
    • Some candidates seeking subclass 190 nomination in the Tasmanian Skilled Employment pathway have had less than the six months employment related to their skills assessment required by that pathway. While green and gold attributes give priority to employment experience of at least three months, this does not over-ride the minimum eligibility requirement.
  • Tasmanian Skilled Graduate pathway  job-offer related to skills assessment or Tasmanian study.
    • Some candidates are relying upon recently commenced employment as a job offer. To be eligible for this priority attribute the employment must not yet have commenced.
    • Candidates with a job offer but who have not yet commenced this employment must list this on their attached resume.
  • Incomplete Expressions of Interest (EOIs) and resumes.
    • Both EOIs and CVs must list the employment being used to claim eligibility for nomination and priority attributes.
    • The full EOI details must be attached, not the point score summary table.
  • Only skilled employment (ANZSCO skill levels 1-3) roles are eligible for gold or green attributes.
    • Some candidates are claiming gold or green attributes for employment related to study that does not meet the ANZSCO skill levels 1-3 standard.
    • For example, driver-store person, aged / individual support worker, extended care assistants and assistants in nursing are classified as ANZSCO skill level 4 roles.
  • Skilled employment or business operation related to study.
    • To claim the green attribute for employment or business operation that is related to a graduates Tasmanian study, the course must have a direct vocational relevance.
    • For example, this would include an engineering graduate working as an engineer, or a hospitality management graduate working as a front of house manager. It would not include a business management or leadership graduate running a café unless the course had a direct, verifiable and relevant hospitality specialisation.
  • Overseas Skilled Occupation Profiles pathway ( Overseas applicants who do not have a job offer).
    • Candidates seeking nomination in the Overseas Skilled Occupation Profiles pathway must first be contacted by Migration Tasmania through SkillSelect. This contact provides instructions on how to apply for nomination.
    • An invitation to apply for nomination in this pathway will not be issued if Migration Tasmania has not already made contact through SkillSelect.

Candidates who meet the minimum requirements but do not have a gold or green attribute will be able to register interest on the Application gateway in October 2022.
