The ACT ‘State Migration Plan (SMP) Occupation List identifies occupations that are in demand in
Canberra. The occupations listed do not relate to a specific job vacancy, nor represent a guarantee
of a job in a specific occupation. The applicant should understand that the ACT Government is NOT
responsible for finding them employment, accommodation or for providing any form of financial
assistance. Applicants must compete for positions with all people in the labour market as part of the
normal selection process. Success will depend on employer requirements, relevant skills and
experience and level of English ability.
SMP Occupation List updates
The SMP Occupation List will be updated on a regular basis to show the current status of the skill
demand against each occupation, as demonstrated below:
Closed nomination places are not available for this occupation.
nomination places are limited. Occupations must be VERIFIED before the application for
Limited

Open nomination places are available for this occupation.

VERIFICATION OF ‘LIMITED’ OCCUPATIONS


A ‘limited’ occupation indicates that the current ACT target for this occupation is almost met.
Applicants seeking nomination of a ‘limited’ occupation must have the occupation verified by the
SBM Unit before an application for nomination is lodged
(see nomination guidelines for further information)
