‘Template Format’ Genuine Position Reports Are Not As Effective!
Yes, that is absolutely our exact sentiments when we read the 457 Agent newsletters about proving genuineness of a nominated occupation. If you are not familiar with it, please read on intently and see why our office (that provides support and report writing for migration agents) are in agreement with the Department!
“A number of companies have emerged who are in the business of developing ‘genuineness submissions’ to provide to the Department. Such submissions are not required and in fact can be of limited value due to their ‘template format’.
The Department will place more weight on individual written documentation that businesses themselves have provided which explain the operation of their business.”
What does it mean?
To sum it up, the Department is saying:
- Genuine position reports that address the regulation 2.72(10)(f) accurately will still be needed to prove a genuine need for the nominated occupation;
- ‘Template-based’ genuine position reports are not effective;
- The quality of the content in the reports are highly important in helping case officers make a more informed decision;
- Genuine position reports written in the perspective of the business are ‘considered’ more favourable.
Extra pointers:
* If you want to address the regulation 2.72(10)(f), answer all specific points raised by the case officer in the checklist and provide as much evidence as possible!
** Case officers do not know the ins-and–outs of the employer’s business so it is our job to explain it fully to them!
Finally, the Department agrees with us!
It has and always been our view that template-based Genuine Position Reports are prejudicial and counterproductive!
Back in 2015, we noticed that a handful of newer and smaller companies attempted to offer to write genuine position reports too. It was not a concern to us until we realised that they were basing their report formats off ours!
However instead of becoming better than us, we have noticed that these smaller companies provide template-based work to agents, effectively ruining the cases’ chances of nomination approval! Back then, we knew that this ‘template-work’ will harm the industry and be more of a bad thing than a good one when case officers receive these low quality reports!
What type of Genuine Position reports do we provide then?
Thankfully for us, our reports are not template-based, which sets us apart. We are also the first company to introduce a new style of writing for our Genuine Position Reports – in first person viewpoint!
We first introduced this new format back in late 2015 and it has proven to be successful, which is why a majority of the Genuine Position Reports we prepared this year are in the new format.
What are some features of our new format of Genuine Position report?
- Written in first person perspective; using pronouns (“I”, “we,”, “my,” and “our”)
- Using the appropriate level of formality in the writing; some industries are less formal, like restaurants
- Using more emotive and personal tone in the writing; we conduct our research into the business and its products and services so we can empathise with the employer!
- Using the client’s letterhead; we can design tailored letterheads for your client at no cost!
- Written in electronic format or handwritten format; yes, we can even write it out on paper!
- Over 20 different themes; no 2 reports will be the same!

Outstanding work guys. The way you tailored the Reports for my clients, got them thinking that you know the Business better than they do! The owners are impressed and happy with your work and asked me to thank you in person, so let us know when you're in the area. Thanks LSG.

Saturday, 23 April 2016Understanding the logic between the operation of the business and the position determines the logic behind the report identifying the need for a paid employee and genuine position.
We have had no refusals for 457, ENS and RSMS and rarely write reports. Including relevant evidence in the submission and relating that evidence to the position is more effective from our experience.
However, having a report in itself is not enough. The report, if provided should marry well to the Business plan and overall business practices and the need for the paid employee.
The best person to assess this is the Migration Agent and the business owner and if they don't have the necessary skills then a suitably qualified professional who would be an Agent with credible experience.
We do not use outside services for LMT or Genuine Position or need for a Paid employee because they are part of the overall assessment of the client and need to be done concurrently by the Migration Agent to assess the possibility of success of the applicant.
Given your qualifications as both a lawyer and Migration Agent I would expect that you can provide full support here and write the genuine position report to suit each client.
Personally I don't use templates at any time, just a logical flow of information and structured points to cover that can be reordered as needed. This avoids the likelihood of a case officer assessing them as not original or not genuinely written by the business. The other issue is the skill level shown by a professional report which would not reflect the English skills of,lets say a mechanic for example and could be seen to be written by an outsider.
If the report is written by the Migration Agent it has a lot of weight, Since the migration agent is the one who understands the business fully and knows the need and applicant details and can overcome the language differentials if written in the correct person. -

You may want to check the documents your client submit to you to see if they are authentic or fake. Some of your clients are making false documents buy paying money to either replicate or paying family and friends to generate employment letters and police clearance. I recommend for you to be careful when processing documents from Bangladesh. I have reported those individuals to Immigration Australia.
