CS AUTOMOTIVE SERVICES (LAVERTON) PTY LTD (Migration)

This matter concerned an application by CS Automotive Services (Laverton) Pty Ltd for approval of a nomination for a Motor Mechanic (General) position. The Administrative Appeals Tribunal was required to determine whether the applicant met the criteria for approval of the nomination, specifically whether the nominated position was genuine, as stipulated by regulation 2.72(10)(f) of the Migration Regulations 1994.

The Tribunal considered the duties described in the Position Description provided by the applicant against the ANZSCO occupational dictionary for a Motor Mechanic (General). While the described duties appeared consistent with the occupation, the Tribunal noted that the applicant had failed to respond adequately to a request for further information. Despite being granted an extension, the applicant did not provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the nominated position was genuine.

The Tribunal affirmed the decision not to approve the nomination. It found that the applicant had not satisfied the requirement that the position associated with the nominated occupation be genuine, due to insufficient evidence provided in response to the Tribunal's request for information.
