21.01.2022 485 visas - The law has changed. Those who have held a 485 visa before cannot apply for a second 485 visa unless you have studied and worked in a regional area in relation to extending your 485 visa. This means if you have held a 485 visa previously as a dependent on your partners 485 visa, you will not be eligible to apply for your own 485 visa as a primary applicant.

16.01.2022 Interesting comment from a former senior DHA figure - Abul Rizvi ... "AAT set aside rate for partner visas climbs... AAT set aside rate for partner visas climbs to 59%. How high must this go before DHA reflects on its partner decision-making at the primary level (noting that is after an average processing time at a primary level of 2 years & an application charge of almost $8,000)?

16.01.2022 Let's help our fellow Australians in need. Australia’s bushfire crisis continues, firefighters have been injured, lost their homes and, tragically, lost their lives. Thousands of families have lost their homes, their farms, their livelihood.... This country has given us so much. It is time for us to pay our gratitude. And believe me, the best and easiest way to do so is to give back. There is nothing too small in this hour of need. Every dollar counts. Please donate! Australia needs you. We have to help these lives rebuilt. We are raising money for The Trustee for the NSW Rural Fire Service & Brigades Donations Fund and your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate a lot or a little. Anything helps.

15.01.2022 Victoria's skilled visa nomination program (190 & 491) is now closed!!

14.01.2022 Important change to Work Experience points DHA have changed the way that they will assess work experience points for some occupations. In the past, if a person was assessed by some skills assessment authorities (Vetassess, ACS (offshore), AIM, etc) the assessing body would determine a deeming date. Any work experience that was undertaken prior to this deeming date was unable to be counted as skilled for work points. DHA has now CHANGED this policy and instead will allow a...ny work experience that takes place after obtaining the qualifications/work experience (as determined by ANZSCO) to count for points. This is their new policy: When assessing periods of skilled employment for the purpose of awarding points, the following must be taken into account: the opinion of the relevant skills assessing authority on the period of skilled employment including the date on which they deemed the applicant skilled; and the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) including any pre-requisite qualifications/work experience relevant to the claimed skilled employment; and any other relevant information (such as employment records and references). If the skills assessing authority’s opinion would result in the applicant being awarded fewer points than the applicant claimed in their EOI, then decision-makers should consider the information in ANZSCO and apply the more beneficial outcome in determining when the applicant was working at a skilled level. For example, if a person has an acceptable degree in Marketing, and works the required 12 months for a Vetassess skills assessment as a Marketing Specialist, DHA would not count this 12 months as skilled work in the past. Now they will as ANZSCO says only a degree is needed to meet the Australian standards for that occupation. Similarly, if an overseas IT graduate works 5 years as an ICT Security Specialist. The ACS would use the first 2 years to meet their own skills assessment standards, leaving just 3 years counting as skilled for DHA points. Now the whole 5 years will count as skilled for points as ANZSCO requires just a relevant degree for that occupation This will likely assist many people in claiming work experience to meet any state sponsorship requirements. As in the past, many states copied DHA policy and did not count work obtained prior to a deeming date.
