Skills assessment
For Hairdresser, the assessing authority for migration purposes is TRA.
Hairdresser in Tasmania — nomination overview
Hairdresser (ANZSCO 391111) is listed on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) and is eligible for state nomination in Tasmania under the Tasmanian Skilled Nominated program. Tasmania has strong demand for hairdressers in hair salons and hairdressing businesses across Hobart, Launceston, and regional Tasmania. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once Tasmania opens nominations; Tasmania strongly favours applicants with a genuine intention to live and work in the state, a local job offer, or prior connections to Tasmania. Skills assessment is conducted by TRA, covering overseas qualifications and work experience against Australian standards. English language proficiency, health, and character requirements must also be satisfied. STSOL listing supports the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa (permanent on grant) and the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa requiring three years of regional residence and employment before the holder may apply for the Subclass 191 permanent residence visa. State nomination adds five points for Subclass 190 or fifteen points for Subclass 491 to the applicant's SkillSelect points test score. Government fees apply at nomination and visa stages; processing in Tasmania typically takes a few weeks to two months. For advice tailored to your circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
