ACT Occupation List for Canberra Migration 2019

The ACT government has updated its priority occupation list for migration program year 2019-2020. Newly updated ACT occupation list includes a couple of occupations in which Nepalese are working in Australia. This might be helpful to Nepalese living, studying or working Canberra or accepted nearest locations.

These occupations listed on the ACT Occupation List only indicates current demand in ACT and Canberra, no necessarily mean you would get a job in the state. Occupations under the ACT Occupation List are used to determine the eligibility for ACT nomination for skill migration. Applicants having skill assessment for these occupations would be eligible to apply for ACT nomination for Skilled Nominated Visa subclass-190 which is a permanent residency visa though if granted need to live and work in Canberra for at least two years. To get ACT nomination one should express their interest via Canberra Matrix which selects candidates based on their skill, close tie with the state and suitability for the state.

For the program year, 2019-2020 ACT has introduced compulsory requirements under ‘occupation caveats’. Under this candidates must have a registration, ACT employment or employment contract for at least one year with ACT employer to get access to ‘open’ occupations. Failing to meet caveats makes the occupation same as ‘closed’ occupations consequently zero points for Nominated Occupation on Canberra Matrix.

Here is a list of ACT Occupation for the program 2019-2020
