Why Hobart

Tasmania's Regional Advantage — Real Points, Real Pathways

Every part of Tasmania — including Hobart — is a designated regional area for Australian immigration. That means skilled workers here access visa pathways and points bonuses unavailable in major cities.

🌏

All of Tasmania is Regional

Unlike other states where only outer areas qualify, every location in Tasmania — including the Hobart CBD — is classified as regional. This unlocks the 491 visa and its +15 points for skilled workers across the state.

🏡

491 → 191 Permanent Residence

After just 3 years on a 491 regional visa living and working in Tasmania, you can apply for the Subclass 191 — a direct permanent residence pathway that most city-based migrants cannot access.

🏛️

Skills Tasmania Nomination

Skills Tasmania (TSSMS) nominates skilled workers for both the 190 permanent visa and the 491 regional visa. Tasmania's program includes a sponsored stream for employer-backed occupations not on national lists.

🏥

Growing Healthcare Demand

Royal Hobart Hospital and Tasmania's expanding health network create sustained demand for nurses, allied health professionals and medical specialists — with strong pathways through employer sponsorship and state nomination.

📈

Lifestyle & Affordability

Hobart consistently ranks among Australia's most liveable cities. Lower housing costs, a thriving arts and food scene, and genuine career opportunities make Tasmania an increasingly popular destination for skilled migrants.

🏢

Employer Sponsorship in Tasmania

Royal Hobart Hospital, the University of Tasmania and Hobart's booming hospitality sector actively sponsor skilled overseas workers. We manage TSS 482 and ENS 186 applications end-to-end for both employers and applicants.

What Hobart Clients Say

★★★★★
"Got my 491 Tasmania regional visa sorted through the Hobart office. Skills Tasmania nomination was handled efficiently and I had my visa within the expected timeframe. Now living in Sandy Bay and building toward my 191 PR — couldn't be happier with the service."

"Excellent in-person service at the Macquarie Street office. My employer sponsorship for my Hobart hospitality business was managed end-to-end — they knew exactly what Skills Tasmania needed and there were no surprises. My chef is now on a 482 and we're planning the 186."

"I came in as a UTAS graduate on a 485 with no clear plan. They sat with me in person, mapped out the Skills Tasmania nomination pathway, and I'm now on a 491 regional visa building toward permanent residence. The face-to-face consultation made all the difference."

FAQ

Hobart Migration — Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Skills Tasmania manages the Tasmanian Skilled and Sponsored Migration Scheme (TSSMS), which offers state nominations for both the Subclass 190 (permanent) and Subclass 491 (regional provisional) visas. Tasmania maintains its own skilled occupation list and nomination criteria, and applicants are generally required to demonstrate a genuine connection to Tasmania — through a job offer, skills shortage, or prior residence.
Yes. All of Tasmania — including the Hobart CBD — is classified as a designated regional area for Australian immigration purposes. This means Hobart-based applicants can access the Subclass 491 regional visa, which provides +15 points on your skills score and a pathway to the Subclass 191 permanent visa after 3 years of regional living and working.
After holding a Subclass 491 visa for at least 3 years and meeting minimum income and regional residence requirements, you can apply for the Subclass 191 Permanent Residence (Skilled Regional) visa. You must have lived and worked in a designated regional area — such as Hobart or anywhere else in Tasmania — throughout that period. A migration agent can monitor your compliance and prepare your 191 application when you become eligible.
Skills Tasmania's TSSMS program often requires applicants to demonstrate a genuine connection to Tasmania — typically a job offer from a Tasmanian employer or evidence of living and working in the state. This differs from programs like NSW or QLD, which primarily invite applicants based on points scores. Tasmania also has a sponsored stream allowing Tasmanian employers to nominate workers for occupations experiencing local skills shortages, even if those occupations aren't on the national skilled list.
Hobart's key skilled migration sectors include healthcare (Royal Hobart Hospital and expanding primary care), construction and engineering (significant infrastructure and residential projects), hospitality and tourism (Tasmania's world-class food and visitor economy), education (University of Tasmania), and aquaculture and agriculture. Tasmania's skills shortages drive competitive nomination across these sectors.
Yes. Our Hobart office is located at Level 6, Reserve Bank Building, 111 Macquarie Street, Hobart TAS 7000 — in the heart of the Hobart CBD. We offer in-person consultations 7 days a week, 7am to 7pm. Call us on +61 433 840 304 to book an appointment, or use the assessment form on this page to get started.
University of Tasmania graduates on a Subclass 485 Temporary Graduate visa can explore several pathways: Skills Tasmania 491 regional nomination (if your occupation is on the skills shortage list), employer sponsorship (TSS 482 or ENS 186) from a Tasmanian employer, or the 190 skilled nominated visa if you meet Tasmania's nomination criteria. A migration agent at our Hobart office can assess which pathway suits your occupation and circumstances.
Yes. Tasmania's TSSMS includes a sponsored stream allowing Tasmanian employers to nominate skilled workers for occupations that may not appear on the national MLTSSL or STSOL. If you have a job offer from a Tasmanian employer in an occupation experiencing a genuine local skills shortage, Skills Tasmania may be able to sponsor you through this pathway. We can assess your employer's eligibility and occupation for this stream from our Hobart CBD office.
Yes. If your Hobart or Tasmanian employer is an approved sponsor (or becomes one), they can sponsor you for the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) 482 visa for up to 4 years, or the Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) 186 for permanent residence. We help Tasmanian employers through the entire process — SMSF application, labour market testing, nomination, and visa application. We can also advise on the Skills Tasmania sponsored stream as an alternative or complementary pathway.
Skills Tasmania processes nominations on a rolling basis. Processing times typically range from 4–12 weeks depending on the stream and volume of applications. The total timeline from starting your skills assessment to receiving a visa grant can be 12–24 months depending on your occupation, invitation scores, and Department of Home Affairs processing times. Our Hobart team helps you plan realistically and avoid avoidable delays.
