The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Government offers a range of sponsorships for skilled and business migrants who wish to live in Canberra and apply their professional skills by working in a skilled occupation or establishing a business/investing in the ACT.
Applicants who have completed a recognised course of study in Australia, hold an appropriate temporary visa and meet the ACT employment and residence criteria may apply for ACT Government sponsorship under the Skilled-Sponsored (subclass 886) visa.
Important Notice:
Due to the 1 July changes to the Skilled Migration Program, complete 'decision ready' applications (hard copy) should be lodged with our office by 1 May 2012 in order to be processed by 29 June 2012. Applications received after 1 May 2012 are unlikely to be processed before 29 June 2012.
