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).
