ACT invitation rounds

The ACT (Australian Capital Territory) has a fixed number of nomination places for every month (pro-rata against the yearly allocation). Top ranked Matrix in each occupation get the invitation to apply for ACT nomination. The cut?off for selection is based on the outstanding monthly allocation, the date and time of Matrix submission, occupation demand and cap. The higher the demand for a particular occupation, the greater the rank of the Matrix score invited.

However, the minimum ranking score is a hint or indication only and not an assurance that an invitation was issued. The ACT will not issue an invitation, if you have an active application in the system; or if you have received ACT nomination in the past.
