受COVID-19疫情影响，塔州TAS宣布从2020.3.20开始，491州担保境外紧缺职业类别（Category 3A– Overseas applicant (TSOL) ）暂时仅对符合TSOL清单上HIGH DEMAND职业的申请人开放。不属于HIGH DEMAND的职业，开放时间另行通知。
3.20之前递交的HIGH DEMAND职业的申请优先处理，其他职业的申请也将继续处理，只不过处理周期将会延长到6个月左右。
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
The rapidly evolving situation regarding COVID-19 has necessitated temporary changes to eligibility for the Subclass 491: 3A Overseas Applicant (TSOL) nomination category.
As of 20 March 2020 , applications for this category are temporarily restricted until further notice to occupations listed in the ‘High Demand’ section of the Tasmanian Skilled Occupation List (TSOL). Please do not LODGE or PAY for a Category 3A application if your occupation is not in the ‘HIGH DEMAND’ on the TSOL. Your application will NOT be assessed.
Applications under Category 3A lodged prior to this date which specify other occupations will still be considered. Applicants with ‘High Demand’ occupations will, however, be given priority. This means processing times for other Category 3A applications with occupations not listed in the High Demand section will become extended (approximately 6 months from lodgment).
The updated Tasmanian Skilled Occupation List (TSOL) can be found here.
