ACT Releases New Skilled Occupation List (SOL)

The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) has implemented an updated Skilled Occupation List (SOL) from 24 February 2014. The ACT currently only participates in the Skilled Nominated Visa Subclass 190 and extends sponsorship to applicants living in Australia and those residing overseas, subject to meeting certain specific criteria.
In addition to nominating an occupation which appears on the current ACT list, applicants are also required to satisfy a minimum level of English, demonstrate that there are suitable employment prospects for their occupation and provide evidence of their commitment to Canberra. Additional criteria apply for certain occupations which are classified as "limited" or "closed".
 
Prior to applying for state sponsorship with the ACT, or any other participating state/territory government, applicants must ensure that they are able to satisfy the visa criteria as set by the Department of Immigration & Border Protection (DIBP).
