It highlights eligible occupations for skilled migrants who are applying for the Skilled Work Regional visa (subclass 491) and the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190).
If you want to secure an ACT nomination or earn extra points on the Canberra Matrix, it is important that your occupation’s name is present in this list. It mainly highlights occupations that are in high demand or critical to priority sectors such as healthcare, education, construction, renewables, and advanced technology.
