Wu (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application by a visa applicant concerning a Working Holiday (Temporary) (Class TZ) visa, subclass 417. The dispute centred on whether the applicant had satisfied the requirement for three months of full-time work in a specified regional area.

The Tribunal was required to determine if the further evidence provided by the applicant sufficiently demonstrated that the criterion for regional work had been met. This evidence included a piecework agreement, a PAYG payment summary, and superannuation statements, all relating to the applicant's employment with Berry Picker Qld Pty Ltd.

The Tribunal found that the newly submitted documentation, including the piecework agreement, PAYG summary, and superannuation records, established that the applicant had met the specified regional work requirement. Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration, directing that the applicant satisfied the relevant criteria for a Subclass 417 visa under cl.417.211(5) of Schedule 2 to the Regulations.
