The ACT Occupation List 2025-2026 is your complete guide to occupations eligible for nomination under the ACT Skilled Migration Program. This list is crucial for applicants aiming for Subclass 190 (Skilled Nominated Visa) and Subclass 491 (Skilled Work Regional Visa) via the Canberra Matrix.

What is the ACT Occupation List 2025-2026?

The ACT Occupation List 2025-2026 identifies occupations in high demand within Canberra and surrounding regions. This list determines eligibility for ACT nomination, which is required to submit a successful skilled migration application.

For 2025-2026, the list focuses on sectors including: - Healthcare & Allied Health - Education & Special Needs Teaching - Engineering & Construction - Information & Communication Technology (ICT) - Accounting & Finance - Trades & Technical Professions

How the Canberra Matrix Works

The Canberra Matrix is a points-based system used to prioritize ACT nomination applicants. Points are awarded based on: - Occupation demand and eligibility - Work experience and qualifications - Age and English proficiency - Regional or Canberra connections

Applicants with higher Canberra Matrix points are more likely to receive invitations for nomination.
