statement of decision and reasons

application for review

1. This is an application for review of a decision made by a delegate of the Minister for Home Affairs to refuse to grant the applicant a Working Holiday (Temporary) (Class TZ) visa under s 65 of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) (the Act). The applicant applied for the visa on 30 July 2021. The delegate refused to grant the visa on 24 June 2022.

2. The delegate made the decision on the basis that evidence of a medical assessment was not provided as required to satisfy a criterion for the grant of the visa under the Migration Regulations 1994 (Cth) (the Regulations).

3. On 26 July 2022 the Tribunal received information indicating the visa applicant’s medical assessment had been completed and cleared. In light of the new evidence received, the Tribunal is satisfied that the criterion is met and has concluded that the matter should be remitted for reconsideration.

4. In reaching its decision the Tribunal did not consider a hearing to be necessary, as it was able to find in favour of the applicant on the basis of the material before it, pursuant to s 360(2)(a) of the Act.
