This means that the ACT currently has 633 available places for the Skilled Regional Work visa (491) and 850 available places for the Skilled Nominated visa (190).
However, it’s important to note that the Business Innovation and Investment Program has reached its cap and is now closed for the remainder of this financial year.
Considering the remaining nominations, the ACT has a deadline of June 30, 2023, to fill up these spots before the new financial year begins on July 1. In preparation for the upcoming year, the ACT has reviewed its skills list and nomination guidelines. As a result, they have added an additional 128 occupations to the list. The aim is to simplify the nomination process for prospective migrants, including candidates from overseas.
