Legal Clarification - Student Guardian Visa Holders Looking to Travel

If you are on a Student Guardian visa, then there are certain visa conditions which prevent you from leaving Australia without the nominating student (your child) unless certain criteria is satisfied.

Importantly, before a Student Guardian visa holder can depart Australia without their student/child, they must provide the Department of Immigration and Border Protection with a Form 157N and evidence that 
there are compelling reasons to allow their departure as well as evidence that arrangements have been made for the safety and well-being of their child.

Accordingly, your welfare arrangements must be approved by both the DIBP and the child's education provider. 

Examples of situations in which the DIBP may approve your alternative arrangements include:

1. When you nominate an alternative student guardian who must be, except in limited circumstances, a parent or relative aged 21 years or over. Form 157N Nomination of a student guardian will outline what documentation you need to provide when nominating a student guardian. Send this form, the education provider’s approval (in a letter or email) and the required documentation to us before you leave Australia.
2. The student’s education provider can take responsibility for their welfare by issuing a Confirmation of Appropriate Accommodation and Welfare (CAAW) letter which will state the start and end dates for approval of welfare arrangements.

Immigration News - 'Backpacker Tax' Delayed!

StoryA collective sigh of relief was breathed by thousands of Working Holiday visa holders when it was announced this week that the implementation of the controversial 'backpacker tax' will be delayed for 6 months pending a review by the Australian Government. 

As it currently stands, Working Holiday visa holders are not required to pay tax for their dollars earnt while working in the country. However, it was previously announced that from 1 July 2016 all Working Holiday visa holders would be considered residents for tax purposes and be forced to pay 32.5c for every dollar earnt in Australia. This eventually lead to strong lobbying by the tourism and farming sectors, who rely heavily on seasonal work of working holiday makers to address labor and skills shortages in remote locations across Australia.

It was argued that the imposition of the tax scheme would cause potential applicants to choose other destinations, such as New Zealand and Canada over Australia. Interestingly, since the tax scheme was announced, Working Holiday applications dropped by 5%. 

Until a decision is reached on taxation of Working Holiday makers, they will continue to live in limbo unsure if their wallets will be considerably lighter come the new year. In the meantime,  Working Holiday visa holders are encouraged to watch our video on Common Pathways to Permanent Residency available here to find out more information on alternative visa options.

Labor Moves to Cancel Visas for Off-Shore Gas Workers

This latest migration news is provided to you by our Immigration Lawyers in Brisbane.

The Australian Labor party is in the process of introducing a motion into Parliament which will disallow off-shore based oil and gas drilling rigs from continuing to sponsor workers on Subclass 400 and 457 visas. 

It is reported that this comes as a result of the Maritime Union of Australia pursues a High Court challenge against the implementation of the government’s visa arrangements in the offshore oil and gas sector, including a ministerial exemption of vessels from Australia’s mig­ration zone.

It is feared that such a plan could cause severe disruption to the operation of these drilling sites which currently represents in excess of $200 billion worth of on-going projects.
