Premiere Asset Australia Pty Ltd (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered a decision concerning an application for a Temporary Skill Shortage (Class GK) visa, Subclass 482, in the Short-term stream. The applicant sought review of a decision not to grant the visa, with the occupation in question being Hairdresser.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the visa applicant met the requirements of clause 482.212(1) of the Migration Regulations. This clause mandates that the nomination identified in the visa application must have been approved, made by an approved work sponsor at the time of approval, and must not have ceased.

The Tribunal found that there was no evidence of an approved nomination for the occupation of Hairdresser by a standard business sponsor that had not ceased. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that the requirements of clause 482.212(1) were not satisfied. As no claims were made regarding other visa streams and no evidence was presented to suggest the applicant could satisfy their criteria, the Tribunal affirmed the decision not to grant the visa.
