Pandori Australia Pty Ltd (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application by Pandori Australia Pty Ltd concerning the approval of a nominated program of occupational training for a Cook. The applicant sought to have the decision to affirm the refusal of this nomination reviewed.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the nominated occupational training program met the requirements of the relevant migration regulations, specifically concerning the duration and nature of the proposed training. The Tribunal was required to determine if the program provided for at least 12 months of full-time experience in the occupation of Cook.

The Tribunal affirmed the decision to refuse the nomination. It reasoned that the proposed training program did not satisfy the regulatory requirement for at least 12 months of full-time experience in the occupation. The nature of the training offered by the applicant was found to be insufficient to meet this threshold, leading to the conclusion that the nomination could not be approved.
