The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered an application for a Subclass 500 (Student) visa. The dispute concerned whether the applicant had provided sufficient evidence of adequate health insurance, a requirement for the visa.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant had satisfied the health insurance criterion for the Subclass 500 visa. This involved assessing the adequacy of the evidence presented to demonstrate compliance with the relevant regulations.

The Tribunal's reasoning was based on new documentation received on 4 January 2019, which evidenced that the applicant now possessed adequate health insurance. In light of this new evidence, the Tribunal was satisfied that the criterion was met. Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration, directing that the first applicant met the criteria under cl.500.215 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations, and the secondary applicant met the criteria under cl.500.311 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations.
