FAMILY VIOLENCE PROVISIONS ADDED TO SEVERAL VISAS

The Migration Amendment (Family Violence Provisions for Skilled Visa Applications) Regulations 2024 have been introduced to modify the Migration Regulations, allowing secondary applicants in seven permanent Skilled visa subclasses to access family violence provisions. This includes amending the existing family violence provision in the Global Talent visa criteria.

The visa subclasses affected by these changes are
the Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186),
Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (subclass 187),
Skilled — Independent (subclass 189),
Skilled — Nominated (subclass 190),
Permanent Residence (Skilled Regional) (subclass 191),
Global Talent (subclass 858), and
Skilled – Regional (subclass 887).

The Amendment Regulations will insert family violence provisions into these visa subclasses. These provisions will enable a secondary applicant to be granted their visa even if their relationship with the primary applicant has ended under certain circumstances, such as experiencing family violence committed by the primary applicant or being in Australia at the time of application or entering Australia thereafter.

For the Sc 186 and Sc 187, any nomination must only include applicants who satisfy specific criteria, and secondary applicants seeking finalization of their visa based on family violence provisions are not required to be included in the nomination.

The Instrument also allows a secondary applicant, whose family violence claim has been accepted by the Department but whose visa is refused due to the primary applicant's visa refusal, to seek review of that decision without paying a fee for the application for review.

Consequential amendments have been made to the 'one fails, all fail' criteria, ensuring that all visa applicants and their family unit members must meet the relevant public interest and special return criteria, regardless of their status as a member of the family unit of the primary applicant at the time a decision is made on the visa.

These regulations come into effect on 15 October 2024 and apply to applications made, but not finally determined, before this date, as well as those made on or after 15 October 2024.

For information on eligibility and how to apply, visit the Department of Home Affairs’ website at Family Violence Provisions, which will be updated to align with the legislative amendments.

PHILIPPINE WORK AND HOLIDAY VISA PROGRAM TO LAUNCH SOON

https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/what-we-do/whm-program/latest-news

Last year, the Australian and Philippine governments signed a Memorandum of Understanding to establish a Work and Holiday (subclass 462) visa arrangement, allowing up to 200 young Filipino and Australian passport holders to enjoy a 12-month holiday in each other’s country annually.

The launch of the program is pending as both countries are still finalizing their administrative arrangements. The Department will release the start date and other details on its WHM program webpage once all arrangements are finalized. This will include guidance for Filipino passport holders on obtaining a Letter of Concurrence (LoC) from their Government, as well as any specific application requirements for Australian passport holders.

For the latest updates regarding the Working Holiday Maker program, members can refer to the Department's website.

ANZCO WILL BE REPLACED BY OSCA IN DECEMBER 2024

In December, ANZSCO will be replaced by OSCA. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and Statistics New Zealand (Stats NZ) have announced that while maintaining comparability, each country will introduce their own tailored occupational statistical classifications.

This will allow each agency to maintain separate but aligned classifications, with localised adaptations to better reflect the contemporary labour market and meet stakeholder needs. The new classification for Australia will be known as the Occupation Standard Classification for Australia (OSCA) 2024, version 1.0, and will be made available on Friday 6 December 2024.

The drivers for change are as follows:

The disparity between Australia's and New Zealand's labour markets has increased since the joint classification began in 2006. Stats NZ has been unable to participate in the targeted 2021 and 2022 Australian updates, as well as the comprehensive review of the classification conducted by the ABS over the past four years. ABS and Stats NZ have identified different solutions to meet stakeholder demand.

Although ANZSCO will change to OSCA in December, ANZSCO will still be accessible on the ABS website. More information about these changes can be found in the Joint ABS and Stats NZ media release and on the ABS website.
