Australian Immigration Daily News

It’s a new year – a time of renewed energy and a time for people to set their goals for the year ahead.

For business owners, it’s also a great time for them to look back at the year gone by and set their goals, including a check that the financial and business goals of the company still meet the needs of the business. As part of this review it makes sense while you’re doing this to review your insurances and ensure your cover is right for your business and you are paying the right price.

As a Migration Agent you are across your requirements for your Professional Indemnity Insurance but have you thought about the other types of insurance your business may need.  If you have an office or even if you work from home and have clients and other members of the public coming to visit you, or if you are going out to meet clients, consider Public Liability insurance, which can help protect your business against the damages from a claim for personal injury or property damage which occurs as a result of your business related activities.

The AAT has asked Migration Alliance to distribute the following message:

From Thursday 25 February 2016, the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) registry services at 83 Clarence Street, Sydney will be available on Level 6.  Registry services on Level 11 will no longer be available from that date and the floor will have restricted access.

This move is the first step in the planned co-location of all NSW AAT registries to Clarence Street which we anticipate will be finalised by April 2016.

One of our latest cases regarding the topic of licensing, registration and membership involved an individual who was in the process of applying for his Temporary Residence Transition (TRT) stream under the ENS (subclass 186 scheme).

The applicant duly fulfilled his obligatory two (2) years of employment with the employer and was eligible for the ENS TRT permanent residence visa. However the process was not as straightforward as it should have been.

The applicant was sponsored by a telecommunications company under the subclass 457 visa in 2013 under the nominated occupation of a Construction Project Manager (ANZSCO 133111). However in actual fact, the applicant should have chosen the ICT Project Manager position (ANZSCO 135112) as it would have suited the applicant better and on top of the fact the an ICT Manager is not required to show registration, licensing or membership.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us at Expert Finance Group. We wish everyone a wonderful break from all the stresses of life and hope to have some delightful relations in the new year!
