Invitation Round for the Canberra Matrix: 15 September 2023

There is a set monthly allocation of nomination places for the ACT (pro-rata to the annual amount). The top Matrix performers in each occupation were invited to submit an application for ACT nomination. The occupation cap, demand, date, and time of Matrix submission, along with the remaining monthly allocation, all had an impact on the cut-off for selection. The higher the rank of the Matrix score invited, the stronger the demand for a given occupation. The minimal ranking score simply serves as a guide and does not ensure that an invitation was sent. If your application is still being processed or if you’ve already been nominated for the ACT, no invitations will be sent to you.
