On 8 May 2018, the legislation that will introduce changes to the "training contributions" that employers who sponsor visas for skilled workers - the "Migration Amendment (Skilling Australians Fund) Charges Bill 2017 - finally passed both houses of Parliament. 

The legislation will come into force on a day that it receives "royal assent" - presumably very soon!

The text of the legislation can be read by clicking here.

Who is a “dependent child” within the meaning of the Migration Regulations?

This might seem to be a somewhat “obscure” or “arcane” question.

But it is an important one for parents who are seeking to get a “child” visa (Subclass 802) for an “adult child”- one who has turned 18.

It really is a “time-honoured” tradition for people who are “new migrants” to a Western country to support themselves by driving taxicabs. 

It is equally time-honoured for students to work their way through school by driving cabs, or doing other demanding, socially important jobs.

But is there a risk to one’s visa status from “working too much” or not keeping accurate records of the hours worked?

A recent decision of the Federal Circuit Court, Aziz v Minister for Immigration & Anor (2018) FCCA 952 illustrates that there are risks.  And it does show how important it can be to keep good records.
