The following statement has been released by Sydney TAFE today:
“As an approved scholarship fund provider, Sydney TAFE is still approved to accept contributions for 457 Visa contribution fund A. Please be advised that in relation to commission payments, we do not use 457 funds for this purpose. All contributions received from 457 Visa contributions go towards training and scholarship programs for Australian and permanent residents.”
Robert Cousins - Associate Director Student Learning and Facilities
Of course Sydney TAFE can also take contributions for training benchmark B.

Sydney TAFE is still the most reliable and transparent option for training benchmarks. Payments can be accepted from organisations across Australia.
I always expected this to be the case and for DIBP to assume otherwise would mirror the prejudgement that is rife within its ranks.
