- Reminder to clients
We wish to remind clients of the importance of advising us of any change in address or telephone details.
The Migration Review Tribunal and Refugee Review Tribunal no longer copy correspondence to applicants where there is an authorised representative (migration agent or lawyer). This means a further delay to you, the client, if you have not advised us of your current address.
All clients, whether or not they have matters pending before a Tribunal, need to keep us up to date with their contact details.
Contact us to update your details, quoting your Parish Patience Immigration file number.

Skilled migration & business

- Projected changes to the Employer Nomination Scheme
Through our membership in the Migration Institute of Australia, we have been made aware that the following changes to the Employer Nomination Scheme will be introduced effective July 2005:
-
The "highly skilled" definition will be redefined by introducing a gazetted list of acceptable occupations - it is suggested that this list will be very similar to the Skilled Occupations List.
- A minimum salary requirement will be introduced for the ENS, related to the Subclass 457 minimum salary level (although it could be set at a higher level).
- There will certainly be a higher minimum salary requirement for positions located in Sydney.
- Labour market testing will no longer be required.
- Processing for the visa application will be done by the same office where the nomination application is processed.
- ENS sponsors will be required to indicate a record of compliance with immigration and work place relations law.
- The ENS lodgement is planned to be available through electronic means in future.
In summary, it seems that changes are planned to the ENS scheme to make it more consistent with the subclass 457 Business
(Long Stay) visa regime. A benefit of this is that labour market testing will not be required and that the uncertainty created by "highly skilled" will be solved.
The negative impact of these projected changes:
-
Only particular occupations will be suitable for the ENS, whereas at present any occupation is arguably "highly skilled".
-
DIMIA may require suitable applicants to undergo skills assessment tests, similar to the skilled migration scheme.
- Some applicants may no longer be eligible, as the minimum salary level will be set too high.
Until the changes are gazetted, it is impossible to predict their exact effect. We would urge prospective employers to seek professional advice soon in order to take advantage of the existing provisions.
For additional information about the Employer Nomination Scheme, we invite you to contact Etienne Hugo, Solicitor.
- Proposed Retirement Investment visa deferred
DIMIA Canberra has advised that the implementation of the proposed temporary Investor Retirement visa, which had been scheduled to commence on 1 November 2004, has been postponed due to the recent Federal election.
For additional information about Retirement visas, we invite you to contact Etienne Hugo, Solicitor.
- State & Regional Development update
- New South Wales
The November 2004 issue of the New South Wales migration agents newsletter, published by the NSW Department of State and Regional Development, contains a number of items of interest to skilled and business applicants:
- All four New South Wales regions are looking for tradespersons, in particular fitters and turners, boilermakers, welders, sheet metal workers, toolmakers, electricians and motor mechanics.
- There will be some delays in processing times over the Christmas and New Year period.
- The NSW Department of State and Regional Development suggests the following websites for companies and individuals looking for investment and joint venture partners:
- Australian Rural Expo -
www.are.net.au (follow link to ARE Projects)
- Australian Technology Showcase - http://ats.business.gov.au - includes information on technology companies looking for investment and joint venture partners
Note: Parish Patience Immigration does not endorse any of the entities or individuals listed on the above websites, which we have provided for information only.
- The NSW sponsored Skilled Independent Regional (SIR) visa website is
www.business.nsw.gov.au (follow links to Regional Development - Regional Skilled Migration).
- Victoria
The State of Victoria's website for information about migration and visas to that State has changed. The new address is
www.liveinvictoria.vic.gov.au.
- Queensland
The Queensland government has published a template defining the minimum amount of information expected to be supplied as part of a business proposal to accompany applications for visa subclasses 163, 164 and 132. The website is
www.migration.qld.gov.au (follow links to 'Business Proposal' - 'Business Proposal Template').
- South Australia
Immigration South Australia has published a fact
sheet and list of 'Occupations for State Nomination - SA' covering the period July 2004-June 2005. The website is
www.immigration.sa.gov.au.
For additional information about Skilled Independent Regional (SIR) visas, we invite you to contact Rania Skaros, Solicitor.
- Vetassess update
The most recent edition of Vetassess News (November 2004) reports on the success of the new online assessment process. There are now four ways to submit an application to Vetassess.
Vetassess reminds all applicants and agents that all online applications must be followed by the provision of original/certified copies to Vetassess for verification.
Clients with queries about Vetassess procedures are invited to contact Annette Aitken, Migration Agent.
- Sydney and Selected Areas Skilled Shortage List (SSASSL) challenge
From 8 September, anyone applying for a Skilled-Australian Sponsored visa (subclass 138) whose sponsor lives in Sydney, Gosford, Newcastle or Wollongong must nominate a skilled occupation that is on the Sydney and Selected Areas Skilled Shortage List (SSASSL). Parish Patience Immigration and other law firms believe that the gazettal for this new provision is invalid, as it was promulgated while the Government was in care-taker mode. Applicants who may have been affected by the change are encouraged to contact us.
In related news, the NSW Department of State and Regional Development has advised that certain towns in the Hunter region have been inadvertently excluded from the SIR visa. These towns include Scone, Dungog, Gloucester, Cessnock and Maitland. An additional gazettal notice will be required to clarify the areas covered by the SIR visa.

Quote of the month
| | "
Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else."
