Slip-ups, mishaps, a broken bone perhaps! As cliché as it sounds, accidents do happen. Personal Accident and Illness Insurance (IPA Cover) offers financial protection when you can no longer work due to an injury or sickness. A policy will cover your lost income while you aren’t working or pay you a lump sum payment if you are permanently unable to work due to a severe injury or illness.

The cover is a great option for those that aren’t covered by Worker’s Compensation such as consultants, contractors, sole traders or directors, and can also act as a top up for when your income exceeds the weekly benefits that a Worker’s Comp cover will pay. It also is flexible and adaptable to your current situation. There’s many reason to love Personal Accident cover but here are just a few of them:

Exactly where do the boundaries of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal’s jurisdiction? 

Or, to put the question in another way, under what circumstances can you seek merits review against the refusal of a 457 visa application? 

This has perhaps been one of the most intensively litigated questions in the Federal courts over the last couple of years.  

Is it ever possible to get the Administrative Appeals Tribunal to “reconsider” a decision that is adverse to an applicant?

There has been another case that illustrates the pitfalls and perils that can result in the refusal of an application for a Subclass 485 (Temporary Graduate) visa application. 

Readers may recall that just recently, on 13 July 2016, I posted an article about the decision of Judge Burchardt in the case of Nguyen v Minister for Immigration & Anor (2016) FCCA 1523. 

In Nguyen, an application for a 485 visa was refused, and the refusal was affirmed by the Tribunal, on the basis that the application was not “accompanied by” evidence that the applicant had applied for a skills assessment.
