Can Your Australian Permanent Residency be Rovocked or Cancelled?
Can Your Australian Permanent Residency be Rovocked or Cancelled?
The answer to this question is simply yes. All kinds of visas including Permanent visas can be cancelled by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP). Even Australian citizenship can be cancelled under certain circumstances.
DIBP has the power to cancel any kind of visa. The Migration Act provided a number of provisions that give the Minister of Immigration (or DIBP delegate of Minister) power to cancel a visa in various circumstances.

Important Visa to Consider
491 Visa Holders please listen
Key Points your need to know if you are a 491 visa holder:
Residency Requirement: Visa holders must reside at a residential address within a DRA, as defined on the date their visa was granted.
Work Requirement: While the employer's main office can be outside a DRA or even overseas, the visa holder is required to perform their work duties primarily within a DRA.
Permissible Activities Outside DRA: Short-term activities such as holidays, work-related travel, or training outside the DRA are allowed. However, extended periods away may require justification:
More than 90 days in total per year outside the DRA.
More than 60 continuous days outside the DRA.
Evidence of Compliance: Visa holders may be asked to provide evidence of their residence and employment in a DRA, including current contact details, employer information, and may be required to attend interviews if requested.
Non-compliance with Condition 8579 can impact eligibility for permanent residency under the subclass 191 visa. It's crucial for visa holders to maintain accurate records of their residence and employment to demonstrate adherence to this condition.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the official document released by the Department of Home Affairs: Requirements of Condition 8579 in relation to Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491).

On 3 December 2024, the Australian Government announced the release of the Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL).
The new CSOL fulfils the Government’s commitment to replace complex, out of date and inflexible occupation lists in our temporary skilled visa program. The CSOL is a single consolidated list, informed by labour market analysis and stakeholder consultations by Jobs and Skills Australia (JSA) that provides access to temporary skilled migration for 456 occupations.
The CSOL will apply to the Core Skills stream of the new Skills in Demand visa, which will replace the Temporary Skill Shortage (subclass 482) visa on 7 December 2024. The CSOL will also apply to the Direct Entry stream of the permanent Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186) visa.
More details on other reform taking place on 7 December 2024, including the Skills in Demand visa and National Innovation visa, will be announced shortly.
