There is no first entry period on a 457 visa. However your employer will generally want (and DIMIA will expect) you to start work in a short period of time.

If you're going to Tasmania, why are you not going for a permanent visa such as RSMS?
People on 457 visas encounter lots of problems and hassles.

Everyone's experience is different, but this thread should give you an idea of the problems some have faced:
