Australian Immigration Daily News

The National Conference conducted by Migration Alliance was held on Friday 15 November attended by more than 700 migration agents.  

Several vital topics were covered during the session including: 

• TSS visas and transitioning employees to permanent residence
• An update from South Australian government in relation to skilled migration intake
• Representing an applicant at the Administrative Appeals Tribunal
• Presentation by the Orana Region, specifically focusing on DAMA
• An update from Victoria, NSW, BSMQ in relation to business skills as well as skilled migration programme
• Finally, the Mock AAT hearing

It was also a pleasure to host the Department of Home Affairs which provided insightful updates in relation to the new regional skilled visa subclass 491 and 494.  This was followed by an update on Immigration Program Management and Delivery: Skilled and Investment Visas, and Temporary Migration, Update on Global Talent Initiative. Lastly a stern update on provision of unlawful migration assistance and an update on migration advice industry. 

Based on the content delivered on the day, it remains clear that immigration will remain as a primary focus both for the state as well as the federal government with plenty of other changes on the horizon including revision of skilled occupation lists due to be released in March 2020. 

Migration Alliance has received an overwhelming positive feedback regarding the conference.  As a result, a summary of the conference will be conducted by way of webinar CPD due to be held this Thursday 21 November from 10.10am AEDT.  The seats are limited to 30.  To book your spot visit: https://legaltrainingaustralia.com/webinar-cpd/
