Kaur (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Subclass 500 (Student) visa by Ms Kaur. The primary dispute concerned whether Ms Kaur had provided sufficient evidence of a completed medical assessment as required by the relevant regulations.

The Tribunal was required to determine whether the criterion relating to a medical assessment, specifically cl.500.217 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations, had been met by the applicant. This involved assessing the impact of new evidence that had been received by the Tribunal after the initial decision.

The Tribunal found that the new evidence provided by Ms Kaur satisfied the medical assessment criterion. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that the matter should be remitted for reconsideration. The Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration with a direction that the applicant meets the specified criteria for the Subclass 500 visa.
