Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon — Tasmania Nomination

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon in Tasmania — nomination overview

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon (ANZSCO 253517) appears on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and is eligible for state nomination in Tasmania under the Tasmanian Skilled Nominated program. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once Tasmania opens invitations for this occupation. Tasmania targets plastic and reconstructive surgeons to strengthen specialist surgical capacity and provide reconstructive care within the state. Skills assessment through the Medical Board of Australia (MedBA) and the Australian Medical Council (AMC) is required, evaluating plastic and reconstructive surgical qualifications and clinical experience against Australian registration 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 a few weeks to two months, 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.
