Gastroenterologist — Tasmania Nomination

Gastroenterologist in Tasmania — nomination overview

Gastroenterologist (ANZSCO 253316) 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 prior study, local work experience, or a confirmed job offer. Skills assessment through the Medical Board of Australia (MedBA) and the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) is required, evaluating overseas medical qualifications and clinical experience in gastrointestinal disorders, endoscopic procedures, and hepatic assessment against Australian standards for specialist registration. Applicants must demonstrate English language proficiency through an approved test and satisfy health and character requirements. Two 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 a Subclass 191 permanent visa application. State nomination adds five points for Subclass 190 or fifteen points for Subclass 491 to the applicant's points test score. 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.
