Migration Tasmania – Clarification on Claiming Skilled Employment

Key Factors and Considerations for Skilled Employment Recognition

Migration Tasmania has provided further clarity on how skilled employment (ANZSCO Skill Level 1-3) is assessed. The determination process involves evaluating multiple factors to ensure the role qualifies as skilled.

Key Considerations:

1. Skills and Qualifications, Duties, and Pay:
   • To qualify as skilled employment, skills and qualifications, job duties, and pay rate must align with the ANZSCO Skill Level 1-3 requirements.
   • If these factors are inconsistent, the role may not be considered skilled.
2. Pay Rate as an Indicator of Skilled Employment:
   • A pay rate above the Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold (TSMIT), currently $73,150, may indicate skilled employment.
   • However, roles paying at or near the National Minimum Wage are not considered skilled and cannot contribute towards attributes like gold, green, or orange-plus.
3. Industry Awards and Agreements:
   • Migration Tasmania may consult relevant industry awards or agreements to validate whether the job duties match skilled employment.
     
     

These references help align roles with the appropriate ANZSCO classifications and pay rates.
