A non-refundable service fee is charged for applications and Canberra Matrix submissions lodged with ACT Migration. This is an administrative fee only and does not guarantee a positive outcome of your nomination application or an invitation for your Canberra Matrix submission. Your application will not be processed, or your Canberra Matrix ranked, until payment has been received and confirmed.
You can make a payment immediately after lodging your application or Canberra Matrix submission or you can choose to pay later.
For users of the ACT Migration Application Portal who choose to pay later, you can complete the payment at any time within the relevant timeframe using the 'pay now' option next to your application or Canberra Matrix submission. When the payment is completed, you will receive a confirmation email.
