The result of this amendment is that a significant number of occupations have been moved to Schedule 2.

In order for an applicant to be sponsored with an occupation as Schedule 2, the applicant must have a contract of employment valid for at least 12 months.

This means that all trades, all nurses and many other occupations are now Schedule 2.

Feb 2016 - ACT has updated the list of occupations they will consider for state sponsorship with several new occupations added.
The occupation: child care centre manager and panel beater have been closed.
Thirty-four new occupations have been opened mainly in the communications, construction, finance, hospitality, and nursing industries.

ACT state sponsorship has closed to overseas residents (still open for Canberra based applicants). The ACT nomination for overseas applicants reopens on 1 July 2016.

Hi everyone, there is a website called ANZCO SEARCH where you can find all the State Sponsorship from all the States. They actualize the web every day. Good luck

tNot sure what you mean by "actualizing the web" but if searching for the facts on state sponsorship one should always refer to the official site hosted by that state or territory.
