The Good People Pty Ltd (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application by The Good People Pty Ltd concerning the approval of a nomination for a position under the direct entry stream. The dispute arose from the refusal of the nomination, which the applicant sought to have reviewed.

The Tribunal was required to determine whether the applicant had satisfied the requirements for the approval of a nominated position under the Migration Regulations 1994, specifically in relation to the direct entry nomination stream. This involved assessing whether the application met the procedural requirements, including the payment of the prescribed fee, and whether the substantive criteria for nomination approval under regulation 5.19(4) had been met.

The Tribunal affirmed the decision to refuse the nomination, finding that the application was not accompanied by the prescribed fee as required by regulation 5.19(2)(b). Furthermore, the applicant had not responded to a request from the Tribunal for up-to-date information. Consequently, the Tribunal was not satisfied that the applicant had met the necessary criteria for approval under regulation 5.19(4), nor had they sought to satisfy the requirements of the Temporary Residence Transition Nomination stream under regulation 5.19(3). The Tribunal therefore affirmed the decision under review to refuse the nomination.
