Haroon (Migration)

The applicant, Haroon, sought judicial review of a decision made by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal concerning his application for a Subclass 485 (Temporary Graduate) visa. The dispute centred on whether Haroon met the health criteria for the visa. The matter was heard by Sean Baker, a Member of the Tribunal.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant satisfied the health requirements as stipulated by the Migration Regulations. Specifically, the Tribunal was required to determine if the medical assessment provided by the applicant met the criteria for the Skilled (Provisional) (Class VC) visa, Subclass 485.

The Tribunal determined that a hearing was not necessary, as it could resolve the matter based on the existing documentation. Pursuant to section 360(2)(a) of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth), the Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration. The direction was that the applicant was to be found as meeting the criteria under Public Interest Criterion 4005(1)(aa) for the purposes of clause 485.216 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations.
