How Many Tasmania Skilled Migration Invitations Were Issued?
According to the Tasmania migration update 5 November 2026, a total of 96 invitations were issued across the two state nomination categories.
Subclass 190: 68 Invitations Issued
The Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190) is a permanent residency pathway for eligible skilled workers nominated by an Australian state or territory government.
In the latest invitation round:
- 68 invitations were issued.
- 11 invitations were issued to Gold priority applicants.
- 57 invitations were issued to Green priority applicants.
- The lowest invited ROI score was 315 points.
These figures indicate continued nomination opportunities for eligible applicants who satisfy Tasmania’s skilled migration requirements. However, receiving an invitation does not automatically guarantee nomination approval.
Subclass 491: 28 Invitations Issued
The Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 491) provides eligible skilled workers with a provisional pathway to live and work in regional Australia.
The latest results show:
- 28 invitations were issued.
- 1 invitation was issued under Gold priority.
- 27 further invitations were issued.
- The lowest invited ROI score was 74 points.
For eligible candidates interested in regional migration, Tasmania’s Subclass 491 nomination pathway remains an option worth exploring.
How Many Tasmania Nomination Places Are Still Available?
The Tasmania migration update 5 November 2026 also provides important information about remaining nomination places.
| Visa Subclass | Available Nomination Places |
| Subclass 190 | 828 |
| Subclass 491 | 628 |
| Total | 1,456 |
As of the reported update, Tasmania had 1,456 nomination places available across both visa subclasses. This indicates that nomination places remained available within Tasmania’s skilled migration program. However, the availability of nomination places does not mean that every applicant will receive an invitation.
How Many Tasmania ROIs and Nomination Applications Are Pending?
The latest update also highlights the level of competition within Tasmania’s skilled migration program.
Migration Tasmania reported the following figures:
| Application Status | Subclass 190 | Subclass 491 |
| Submitted ROIs on hand | 769 | 631 |
| Nomination applications awaiting decisions | 94 | 84 |
| Invitations issued but applications not yet lodged | 119 | 62 |
A total of 1,400 ROIs remained in submitted status following the invitation round.
Additionally:
- 178 nomination applications had been lodged but not yet decided.
- 181 invitations had been issued without the corresponding nomination applications being lodged.
These numbers demonstrate that Tasmania’s nomination program remains competitive. Applicants should therefore focus on meeting eligibility requirements and accurately demonstrating their priority attributes rather than relying only on invitation statistics.
What Is the New Six-Week Rolling Average Rule?
One of the most important announcements in the Tasmania migration update 5 November 2026 concerns how nomination applications are assessed when priority attributes cannot be verified.
Migration Tasmania has replaced its previous three-month rolling average with a six-week rolling average for the relevant assessment process.
The latest rolling average invitation scores are:
| Visa Subclass | Six-Week Rolling Average |
| Subclass 190 | 324 points |
| Subclass 491 | 77 points |
This change means recent invitation scores now play a more immediate role in determining the outcome of certain nomination applications.
What Happens If Your Priority Attributes Cannot Be Verified?
Migration Tasmania examines every claimed priority attribute when assessing an invited applicant’s nomination application. Where the information provided in the ROI and nomination application is verified as true and correct, nomination will be approved.
However, where one or more priority attributes cannot be verified, the outcome depends on the revised score and applicable assessment rules.
Scenario 1: Revised Score Remains Above the Latest Invitation Threshold
If an applicant’s revised score remains above the lowest score in the most recent invitation round, the nomination may still be approved.
Scenario 2: Revised Score Falls Below Both Thresholds
If an applicant’s revised score falls below both:
- The lowest score from the most recent invitation round; and
- The six-week rolling average invitation score,
the nomination application will be declined.
Scenario 3: Intentionally Inflated Priority Scores
If Migration Tasmania determines that an applicant intentionally claimed priority attributes to increase their ROI score artificially, the nomination application will be declined.
This makes accurate information and verifiable supporting documents especially important.
What Should Tasmania Skilled Migration Applicants Do Next?
The latest invitation results and assessment changes highlight several practical considerations for applicants.
1. Review Your ROI Ranking Score
Applicants should understand how their claimed priority attributes contribute to their Tasmania ROI ranking. The latest invited scores provide useful benchmarks but do not guarantee invitations in future rounds.
2. Verify Your Priority Attributes
Ensure every claimed priority attribute is accurate and supported by appropriate documentation. Incorrect or unverifiable claims may affect the nomination outcome.
3. Understand the New Assessment Rules
Applicants should familiarise themselves with the six-week rolling average and its implications if one or more priority attributes cannot be verified.
4. Check Your Eligibility for Subclass 190 or 491
Review the applicable state nomination criteria and federal visa requirements before selecting a migration pathway.
5. Monitor Official Invitation Updates
Invitation scores, nomination availability, and assessment requirements may change throughout the program year. Regularly reviewing official announcements can help applicants make more informed decisions.
