ACT Occupation List

The current ACT, Critical Skills List has been updated on 18 April 2023. This list displays the in-demand skills in Canberra- the capital city of Australia. The ACT Critical Skills List aims to determine the eligibility for ACT nomination of the visa categories:

  • Skilled Work Regional (provisional) subclass 491 visa.
  • Skilled Nominated (Permanent) subclass 190 visa.

Canberra assess and revise the ACT Critical Skills List before every financial year to make certain that the ACT Migration Program adjusts and responds to the ACT economy's growing critical skills requirements.

Hence, to confirm the latest status of the ACT Critical Skills List occupations and apply for the visa based on the same, you may contact Visas Avenue Australia Migration Expert on Toll-Free No 78-18-000-777, or you can drop us an e-mail at info@visasavenue.com.

The number of ACT nomination places are subject to cap occupation in this list. Consequently, ACT will not issue further an occupation if it is capped.
