The greater the demand for an occupation, the higher the rank of the Matrix score invited.
The minimum ranking score is an indication only and not a guarantee that an invitation was issued. Invitations will not be issued if there is an active application in the system; or if previously ACT nomination was received.
Canberra Matrix submissions in occupations in critical sectors may be prioritised.
