Nurse Practitioner — Tasmania Nomination

Nurse Practitioner in Tasmania — nomination overview

Nurse Practitioner (ANZSCO 254411) appears on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and is eligible for state nomination in Tasmania under the Tasmanian Skilled Migration program. 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. Nurse practitioners hold advanced practice authority and are in strong demand across primary care, emergency, and community settings. Skills assessment through the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC) is required, evaluating qualifications and clinical experience against Australian nursing registration standards. Applicants must meet English language requirements and satisfy health and character checks. Two pathways exist: Subclass 190 (Skilled Nominated) grants permanent residence, while Subclass 491 (Skilled Work Regional) is provisional and leads to Subclass 191 after three years of regional living and work. 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.
