VINCENTIAN MISSIONARIES (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered the application of the Vincentian Missionaries (Migration) concerning a nomination for the Direct Entry stream of the Subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage) visa. The applicant sought to nominate an individual as a Minister of Religion.

The Tribunal was required to determine whether the nominated position met the requirements of the Direct Entry Nomination stream, specifically whether the tasks associated with the role aligned with the ANZSCO description for a Minister of Religion and whether the proposed nominee met the relevant training benchmarks.

The Tribunal found that the nominated position's duties, as described by the Vincentian Missionaries, substantially corresponded with the ANZSCO description for a Minister of Religion. Furthermore, the Tribunal was satisfied that the training benchmarks, as outlined in the relevant legislative instrument, had been met by the organisation.

Consequently, the Tribunal affirmed the delegate's decision to approve the nomination.
