Orthotist or Prosthetist — Tasmania Nomination

Orthotist or Prosthetist in Tasmania — nomination overview

Orthotist or Prosthetist (ANZSCO 251912) is listed on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and is eligible for state nomination in Tasmania under the Tasmanian Skilled Nominated scheme. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once Tasmania opens invitations for this occupation. Tasmania favours applicants with a genuine connection to the state, such as employment history or local study in a relevant field. Skills assessment from the Australian Orthotic Prosthetic Association (AOPA) is required, evaluating qualifications and clinical experience in orthotic and prosthetic device design, fitting, and patient rehabilitation against Australian professional standards. Applicants must demonstrate English language proficiency through an approved test and satisfy health and character requirements. Two nomination pathways are available: the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa, granting permanent residence on grant, and the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional visa, a provisional visa requiring three years of regional residence and employment before transitioning to permanent residence via the Subclass 191 visa. State nomination adds five points for Subclass 190 or fifteen points for Subclass 491. Processing in Tasmania typically takes four to eight weeks, and visa fees are payable to the Department of Home Affairs. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
