Hobart & Tasmania's
Migration Agent
Tasmania is a classified regional area — meaning migrants living and working in Hobart and across the island earn 5 bonus skilled migration points and have access to the 491 regional visa pathway. We help Tasmanian migrants make the most of these advantages.
Why Hobart
Tasmania — Regional Advantage, Exceptional Lifestyle
Tasmania's classification as a regional area gives migrants a genuine points advantage, while Hobart's growing economy, world-class food scene, and natural environment create an increasingly attractive destination.
+5 Regional Migration Points
Every year you live and work in Tasmania as a skilled worker adds 5 bonus points to your SkillSelect score. This makes a material difference to your invitation prospects.
TAS Government Nomination
Tasmania nominates skilled workers for the 190 Skilled Nominated visa and 491 regional visa through the Tasmanian Skilled Migration Service (TSMS).
Healthcare Growth
Royal Hobart Hospital and Tasmania Health facilities across the island have sustained demand for nurses, allied health and medical professionals.
Tourism & Hospitality
Tasmania's world-class food and wine scene and MONA-driven cultural reputation have created significant employer sponsorship demand in tourism and hospitality management.
Construction & Renewable Energy
New housing developments and major renewable energy projects (Tasmania's energy transition) create demand for engineers and trades professionals.
Affordable & High Quality of Life
Hobart consistently offers lower housing costs and cost of living than mainland capitals while maintaining exceptional lifestyle quality.
