📅 ACT 190 & 491 APPLICANTS — MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
The first ACT Canberra Matrix invitation round for the 2026–27 financial year is here! 🇦🇺
The ACT Government has confirmed that the first invitation round is scheduled for the week starting 12 October 2026, covering ACT nomination pathways for Subclass 190 and Subclass 491.
🔍 How does the Canberra Matrix work?
Eligible applicants submit a Canberra Matrix, where points are claimed against relevant criteria. Matrices are then ranked, and applicants who rank highly enough in their occupation may receive an invitation to apply for ACT nomination. Simply meeting the eligibility requirements or submitting a Matrix does not guarantee an invitation.
⭐ Who could be prioritised?
The ACT advises that:
🔹 Subclass 491 Matrix submissions are selected first in applicable pathways.
🔹 Occupations in critical sectors may be prioritised, including care, education, construction, renewables and advanced technology.
🔹 Where applicants have the same Matrix score, the date and time of submission may affect selection. If a Matrix has been updated, the updated submission date is used for ranking purposes.
✅ Before the invitation round
Now is the time to check that your:
✔️ SkillSelect EOI information is accurate and current
✔️ Canberra Matrix claims are correct
✔️ Skills assessment and English test remain valid where required
✔️ Supporting documents can substantiate the points you have claimed. ACT Government
⚠️ Important: The ACT Government says its final 2026–27 nomination allocation has not yet been confirmed by the Australian Government, so invitation numbers are not yet known.

📢 THURSDAY TAKEAWAY | NEWCASTLE & WOLLONGONG ARE STILL REGIONAL

Confused by the new Migration (Designated Areas) Instrument 2026 (LIN 26/004)?

Newcastle and Wollongong remain regional for relevant skilled and temporary graduate visa purposes, subject to the eligible postcode requirements.

🔍 Why the confusion?

Migration law uses two similar terms with different meanings:

▪️ “Designated areas” — LIN 26/004

This instrument applies to a separate legal definition under regulation 1.03. Its exclusion of Newcastle and Wollongong does not change their classification under the regional visa framework.

▪️ “Designated regional areas” — LIN 22/022

This instrument remains in force and sets the eligible regional postcodes for certain skilled and temporary graduate visas. Relevant Newcastle and Wollongong postcodes remain included.

📍 What about Victoria?

Although LIN 26/004 lists the whole of Victoria as a “designated area”, this does not make Melbourne regional for these visa purposes. Victoria’s regional eligibility continues to depend on the applicable regional postcode list.

💡 The takeaway: check the postcode and the rules for your particular visa—not just the word “designated”.

💡 EMPLOYEES: ARE YOU RECEIVING THE SUPER YOU'RE ENTITLED TO?

The ATO's compliance activity is also an important reminder for workers to keep an eye on their employment records.

If you're an employee:

✅ Check your payslips

✅ Keep records of the hours you work and payments you receive

✅ Check that your income is being reported correctly

✅ Regularly check your super account

✅ Don't assume being paid in cash means your employer can ignore their tax or super obligations

The ATO accepts community tip-offs about suspected tax and super misconduct, including employers suspected of paying workers cash to avoid their obligations or failing to pay the correct super. Australian Taxation Office

📌 Know your employment rights and keep your own records.

If you're concerned about missing super or incorrect tax reporting, check your records and seek appropriate advice.

🚨 AUSTRALIA ANNOUNCES CHANGES TO VISA CHARACTER DECISIONS

Australia has announced an update to Ministerial Direction 110, with greater emphasis to be placed on protecting victims of domestic and family violence and children who are victims of crime. Home Affairs Ministers

📌 What is Direction 110?

It guides decision-makers when considering certain visa refusals and cancellations on character grounds. The existing Direction already requires consideration of family violence, the protection of the Australian community and the best interests of affected minor children. Immigration and citizenship Website

🔹 What has been announced?

The Government says Direction 110 will be updated to:

✅ Better protect children who are victims of crime

✅ Better protect victims of domestic and family violence

✅ Reflect Australia's commitment to addressing hatred

⚠️ Important: This does not mean every visa cancellation or refusal will have the same outcome. Character decisions involve consideration of the individual circumstances and relevant factors.

The Government has announced the reform, with migration policy changes being progressively implemented.
