Occupation list

Tasmania does not publish its own occupation list: it says every occupation on the Australian Government's subclass 190 and 491 lists fits at least one Tasmanian pathway. It does publish health, allied health and teaching occupation groups with their own conditions.

Tasmania's terms limit reproduction, so only the official links are given.
