The Canberra Matrix is completed for nominations for both ACT 190 and ACT 491. Here’s the method of submitting the Canberra Matrix.

• Read the nomination criteria of the ACT for your chosen pathway carefully and ensure that you have the eligibility to claim Matrix points.
• Furnish your personal information.
• Select one of these nominations: ACT 491 or ACT 190.
• Select either “overseas applicant” or “Canberra resident”.
• Select “yes” or “no” for ‘Doctorate Streamlined nomination’.
• If “yes” was your choice for the last option, submit the Matrix.
• In case Canberra resident and overseas applicants = “yes”, then complete the Canberra Matrix.
