Wanta Aboriginal Corporation (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application by the Wanta Aboriginal Corporation concerning a subclass 482 nomination. The corporation sought to have a decision to refuse its application for approval of a nomination reviewed.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant had satisfied the requirements of section 140GBA of the *Migration Act 1958* (Cth). This involved determining whether the applicant had provided requested information within the prescribed period and whether there was evidence of labour market testing having been undertaken.

The Tribunal found that there was no evidence before it demonstrating that the applicant had engaged in labour market testing. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that there was no evidential basis to support a finding that the applicant met the requirements of section 140GBA. Accordingly, the Tribunal affirmed the decision to refuse the application for approval of the subclass 482 nomination.
