Migration Tasmania reported 37 subclass 190 invitations and 24 subclass 491 invitations. The lowest invited scores were 323 and 89 respectively, under Tasmania's scoring system.

These results provide a snapshot of nomination activity. They do not guarantee that applicants with similar scores will receive invitations in future rounds.

Tasmania invitation round October 2026: latest results

Migration Tasmania published the following results for the round conducted on 8 October 2026.

Source: Migration Tasmania, updated 8 October 2026.

The subclass 190 pathway received more invitations during this round. However, invitation numbers alone do not show an individual applicant's likelihood of selection.

The figures also belong to Tasmania's nomination system. They are not federal SkillSelect points scores.

What do Tasmania invitation round scores mean?

The lowest invited score is the lowest reported score among candidates invited during a particular round. It is not a guaranteed threshold for future invitations.

Migration Tasmania also publishes a rolling three-month average score. On 8 October 2026, the published averages were 440 for subclass 190 and 81 for subclass 491.

These figures measure different things. The lowest invited score relates to one round, while the rolling average summarises results over three months.

Do not treat either figure as a permanent selection threshold. Future invitations depend on the candidates being considered and the program's current settings.

Tasmania assesses candidates against its nomination criteria and priority attributes. Applicants must ensure their ROI claims are accurate and supported by evidence.

Migration Tasmania warns that claimed priority attributes are examined. If an attribute cannot be verified and the score falls below the applicable threshold, the nomination application can be declined. A Gold pass holder who does not meet the Gold priority attribute can also be declined, regardless of their total score.

What does the subclass 190 result mean?

The Skilled Nominated subclass 190 visa is a permanent skilled visa. Applicants need nomination from an Australian state or territory and must meet the federal visa requirements.

The October round issued 37 subclass 190 invitations. The lowest invited score was 323 under Tasmania's scoring system.

A candidate with a similar score should not assume that an invitation will follow. Their pathway, eligibility, verified priority attributes and the current program settings remain important.

Subclass 190 nomination provides 5 points towards the federal skilled migration points test. Applicants must still meet the applicable visa criteria and support their claims with evidence.

What does the subclass 491 result mean?

The Skilled Work Regional subclass 491 visa is a provisional skilled visa. It allows eligible holders to live, work and study in designated regional areas, subject to visa conditions.

Tasmania issued 24 subclass 491 invitations during the October round. The lowest invited score was 89 under Tasmania's scoring system.

This result does not mean that every applicant with 89 points will receive an invitation. Candidates must meet the requirements of their chosen Tasmanian pathway and the federal visa criteria.

Subclass 491 nomination provides 15 points towards the federal skilled migration points test. Eligible holders may later qualify for permanent residence through subclass 191, subject to its requirements.

How many Tasmania nomination places remain in 2026-27?

After the October round, Migration Tasmania reported 954 subclass 190 places and 691 subclass 491 places available.

Tasmania's total nomination allocation for 2026-27 is 1,250 subclass 190 places and 800 subclass 491 places.

The remaining places reflect the figures published after this round. They do not guarantee that every place will be filled in the next round.

Available places can change as nominations are approved and applications progress. Invitation activity also depends on program settings and the candidates under consideration.

Check Migration Tasmania's latest published statistics before making decisions based on remaining allocation figures.

What should you do if Tasmania did not invite your ROI?

Not receiving an invitation does not automatically mean that you are ineligible for Tasmanian nomination.

Start by reviewing your submitted Registration of Interest. Confirm that your occupation, employment history and claimed priority attributes are accurate.

Check that your supporting evidence is current and available. This may include your skills assessment, English results and employment records, where relevant to your pathway.

Review the priority attributes for your selected pathway. Tasmania's ranking system considers the attributes claimed in your ROI, and the most competitive candidates are invited to apply.

Monitor Migration Tasmania's published results and nomination criteria for updates. You should also check whether another state or territory pathway is suitable, but only if you meet its requirements.

Do not add claims simply to increase your score. Every claim must be accurate and supported by evidence.

Tasmania 190 vs 491: which pathway should you consider?

The right pathway depends on your circumstances, eligibility and long-term plans. The two visas have different outcomes and conditions.

Neither pathway guarantees an invitation or visa grant. Compare the nomination criteria, visa conditions and longer-term plans before choosing a pathway.

An applicant should not select subclass 491 solely because it provides more federal points. The visa's regional conditions and later permanent residence requirements also matter.

What should you check before applying for Tasmania nomination?

Before applying, review your eligibility against the official requirements for your selected pathway.

1. Confirm that your occupation and circumstances fit the chosen pathway.
2. Check that your Expression of Interest in SkillSelect is accurate and includes Tasmania as your state of interest.
3. Review your Registration of Interest and the priority attributes you have claimed.
4. Gather evidence to support every claim in your ROI and nomination application.
5. Check the latest invitation results and remaining nomination places on the Migration Tasmania website.
6. Compare subclass 190 and subclass 491 requirements before deciding which pathway suits your circumstances.

Remember that an invitation to apply for nomination is not a nomination approval or a visa grant. Tasmania assesses the nomination application, while the Department of Home Affairs separately assesses the visa application.

Use the official results as a guide to recent activity, not as a promise of future selection. If you need help assessing your individual eligibility, consider speaking with a registered migration agent.
