About the ACT Occupation List
The ACT Occupation List identifies the skills that are currently in demand in Canberra. The ACT Occupation List is used to determine the eligibility for ACT support of the following programs:
- Skilled Migration: ACT nomination of a Skilled – Nominated (subclass 190) visa.
- Employer Nomination: Regional Certifying Body support of an Employer Nomination under the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme.
Skilled Migration Applicants
The ACT Occupation List determines if the occupation is available for ACT nomination:
- Open Occupations: you can apply for ACT nomination if you meet the nomination criteria.
- Closed Occupations: You may be eligible to apply for ACT nomination if you have close ties (job offer or close family) to Canberra and you meet the nomination criteria.
Employability:
The ACT Occupation List is not linked to specific job vacancies and it is not a guarantee of a job in a nominated occupation. You must be satisfied that there are sufficient employment opportunities in your nominated occupation before you apply for ACT nomination. You will compete for employment vacancies with all people in the labour market as part of a normal selection process. Your success will depend on employer requirements, your relevant skills, your experience and your level of English language ability.
New residents generally do not meet the criteria of employers who require citizenship or security clearance.
ACT Occupation List updates
The ACT Occupation List will be updated on a regular basis to reflect the current demand in Canberra for each occupation. Once it is determined that the demand for an occupation has been met, the occupation will be closed. The demand for closed occupations will be reassessed in May 2015.
