Subclass 190 Tasmania nomination
Subclass 190 Tasmania is a nominated pool: an EOI in it records Tasmania as the jurisdiction the applicant is aiming at. That is a statement of intent, not a commitment from Tasmania to nominate anyone. This article explains what the TAS slice of the 190 data can and cannot tell you, and how to open it in the dashboard.
Key terms. SkillSelect is the Australian government’s online system for skilled migration. An Expression of Interest (EOI) is the form you lodge in it, and it is not a visa application. An EOI counted as submitted was still sitting in the pool when the monthly snapshot was taken; one counted as invited was holding an invitation at that moment. ANZSCO is the occupation-code list SkillSelect uses. Every figure on this site counts EOIs rather than people, because one person can lodge more than one.
How 190 nomination works in Tasmania
Skilled Nominated (subclass 190) requires a state or territory to nominate you before the Department can invite your EOI. Nomination also adds points to the EOI. Tasmania sets its own occupation list, its own eligibility criteria and its own opening and closing dates, and publishes them separately from SkillSelect.
None of that program detail reaches the statistics behind this site, so confirm it on the Home Affairs subclass 190 listing and the state and territory nomination page before you plan around it.
In the EOI statistics
Every 190 EOI records the jurisdiction it is aimed at, and Tasmania is one of those values. With the visa filter on 190, State Mix splits an occupation’s submitted EOIs by jurisdiction, and the TAS slice is how many people have aimed at Tasmania for that occupation.
Read that as a measure of competition rather than of the jurisdiction’s appetite for nominating. Two occupations with almost identical national 190 totals can have completely different TAS shares, which is exactly why the state view is worth opening.
In the dashboard
Occupation Trends opens with subclass 190 and Accountant (General) already selected, which is the part of the dashboard the guest trial covers. State Mix, where the TAS slice actually appears, asks you to sign in.
The guest trial covers 189 and 190 plus five occupations. State Mix and State × Occupation are behind sign in.
Reading these charts
State Mix explains the jurisdiction split, State × Occupation turns it around and shows which jurisdictions a single occupation is aimed at, and Occupation Trends covers the national lines you start from.
For applicants
The useful question here is how crowded the 190 pool aimed at Tasmania is for your occupation — not whether Tasmania will nominate you. Nothing in the SkillSelect tables answers the second question.
Once you have a sense of the crowding, the points test and invitation rounds explain what happens to an EOI after it is lodged.
For migration professionals
Keep the visa locked to 190 for the whole conversation: Occupation Trends first for national crowding, then State Mix on the same subclass so the TAS share is in the same units.
A 491 TAS figure describes a different pool and should not be carried into a 190 discussion, even though the two share a jurisdiction name.

Common questions
Is the 190 TAS pool the same queue as 189?
No. Subclass 190 is a nominated pool counted separately from 189, and the TAS share of it is a slice of that separate pool. The two figures do not belong in the same sentence.
How do I see 190 EOIs for Tasmania?
Open Occupation Trends with the visa filter on 190 — that part is in the guest trial — then open State Mix, which splits the pool by nominated jurisdiction and needs you to sign in. Keep the status on submitted.
Does this tell me whether Tasmania will nominate me?
No. Nomination is decided by Tasmania against its own criteria, which are published separately and are not part of the SkillSelect statistics.
