Worts (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Contributory Aged Parent (Temporary) (Class UU) visa, Subclass 884. The applicant sought review of a decision concerning the assessment of health criteria for the visa.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant met the health requirements as stipulated by subclause 4005(1) of the Migration Regulations 1994, specifically in relation to clause 884.224 of Schedule 2. This involved determining if any health concerns identified in previous assessments had been resolved or were no longer relevant.

The Tribunal's decision was informed by new information received on 11 October 2018, which indicated that no health concerns had been identified and recommended the applicant be health cleared. Based on this new evidence, the Tribunal was satisfied that the health criterion was met. Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration with a direction that the applicant meets the health requirements under PIC 4005(1) for the purposes of cl. 884.224.
