Speech Pathologist / Speech Language Therapist — Tasmania Nomination

Speech Pathologist / Speech Language Therapist in Tasmania — nomination overview

Speech Pathologist / Speech Language Therapist (ANZSCO 252712) appears 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 prior study, local work experience, or a confirmed job offer. Skills assessment through Speech Pathology Australia (SPA) is required, evaluating whether qualifications and professional experience meet Australian practice 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, which grants permanent residence on grant, and the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional visa, a provisional visa requiring three years of regional residence and employment before the applicant can apply for the Subclass 191 permanent visa. State nomination adds five points to the applicant's points test score 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.
