The tribunals are moving towards introducing email as a primary means of communication for all case related correspondence. From 13 October 2014, a single registry email address will be used for all case related communications between the tribunals, applicants and their representatives.

All valid email addresses provided to the tribunals for the purpose of current reviews will shortly be sent an email. The email will ask them to confirm that this is the email address that they wish to use as their primary means of communication with the tribunals.

Representatives who choose to communicate with the tribunals by email will receive all correspondence relating to their application via their nominated email address. A representative may contact the tribunals to update their email address at any time.

A new notice is now on the NSW State Government website for the next application intake for the 190 visa.

Information includes that:

• NSW intake will open on 22 October with 1,000 places available
• Revised NSW Skilled Occupation List (excluding Accountants and the majority of ICT workers for the October 2014 intake)

NSW is hoping that the numbers are less than last time and the intake is more moderated. 

The following is an email being sent out by the DIBP:

Dear Ms XXXX,

The following is the official press release from the Office of the Senator Sarah Hanson-Young, which has been sent to Migration Alliance:

The successful passage of a Greens’ disallowance motion has overturned the government’s attempts to scrap a range of essential, affordable family and carer visas.

“The Senate has voted to keep families living together and looking after each other in Australia,” the Greens’ immigration spokesperson, Senator Sarah Hanson-Young said.
