- Subclass 190: 562 points
- Subclass 491: 94 points
Tasmania explains that these figures represent a rolling three-month average of the lowest point score resulting in an invitation. This is different from simply looking at the lowest score invited in the latest round.
For example, the latest round had a lowest invited score of 544 points for subclass 190, while the reported three-month assessment threshold is 562 points.
What Should Tasmania Skilled Migration Applicants Do Now?
Applicants should carefully review their ROI and supporting information rather than relying only on the latest invitation score.
1. Check your points
Make sure the points claimed in your ROI are accurate and supported by appropriate evidence.
2. Review your priority attributes
If you have claimed priority attributes, ensure that you can provide evidence to support those claims. This is particularly important for applicants claiming Gold priority.
3. Monitor invitation rounds
Tasmania’s invitation numbers can change depending on the number of ROIs received and the state’s available allocation. The latest Tasmania skilled migration invitations 27 August update itself indicates that future rounds could change as the number of Gold pass ROIs decreases.
4. Keep your documents ready
If you receive an invitation, you should be prepared to lodge the required nomination application within the applicable timeframe. Make sure your employment, qualification, English-language, identity and other supporting documents are current and consistent with the information in your ROI.
5. Seek professional advice when needed
Skilled migration requirements can be complex, particularly when points and priority attributes are involved. A registered migration professional can assess your circumstances and help you understand the appropriate pathway.
