Part 2 of Migration Agents Regulations 1998 defines the standards of professional conduct, and these conducts as per code of conduct are stated below:
To: Department of Immigration and Border Protection
From: Dimitri
Date: 12th May 2017
Re: seeking a waiver of the health requirement for a subclass 309 visa.
DIAC is responsible to administer the health requirements of visa applicants, and as per this migration Health Requirement it mainly aims the protection of public health, and it also determine the expenditure related to public health in Australia.
Section 65 of the Migration Act 1958 is related with the decision making process of health requirement. In other words, this section deals with the decision of granting or refusing the visa of the person. According to this section after considering valid visa application, if the minister is satisfied that health requirements are met by the visa applicant, and he or she also satisfied that all other requirements stated by this Act or regulations.
It must be noted that under this section grant of the visa is not prevented by Section 40 in which circumstances related to visa grant is stated, section 500A which states the refusal and cancellation of temporary safe haven visas, Section 501 which state the special power for refusing or cancel the visa, and any other provision of this Act or any other law of commonwealth.
However, any charge related to visa application is payable in context of application has been paid in case visa is granted, and if minister is not satisfied then visa application is refused.
Waiver of health requirement is central topic of this letter, and this requirement is available in some particular visa classes only, and it also allowed the department to consider the factors which are not related to health while assessing the visa applications.
As per the law it is necessary that visa applicant and their children’s who are applying for visa must fulfill the health requirements stated by Act, and in general practice members of the family who are not applying for the visa also need to fulfill these health practice. Therefore, for the purpose of deciding it is necessary that applicant go through health checks.
It is necessary that visa applicant go through the health examinations for the processing of visa application, and these health examinations are changed from the 20 November 2015, and it is necessary that applicant must ensure some additional provisions.
As stated above, health waiver is available in some specific classes of visa, in which department is satisfied that granting of the visa would not result in undue cost or prejudice to access. However these waivers are known as PIC 4007 health waiver. Health waiver is available only in situation when medical officer of the Commonwealth stated that visa applicant is not meeting the health requirements, and if officer is satisfied that granting of visa would not result in undue cost and it does not put any extra pressure on health care and community services because there is already short supply in Australia. This is known as prejudice to access.
As stated above, health requirements in Australia are stated under three key PICs which are define in Schedule 4 of the Migration Regulations 1994. These PICs clearly stated the criteria for assessment of application in context of the Health Requirement, and they are applied in all visa applications. All three PICs are stated below:
However, it must be noted for the purpose of these PICs, information is sent by DIAC to the committee, and as per them health requirements are applicable if PIC 4006A or PIC 4007 are attached to the relevant visa subclass. At current level these PICs are applied on limiter number of visas in case of humanitarian and family streams. This case is also there in past as well, as in old times waiver of health requirement is allowed in cases of humanitarian, Australian citizens family members or permanent residents are involved.
This traditional approach generally means that in case of majority of permanent visa applicants which also includes permanent skilled visa applicants, waiver of health requirements are not available. In case PIC 4006A or PIC 4007 is attached to the visa then waiver of health requirement requires some extra considerations from Department decision-maker.
Under PIC 4007, opportunity is provided to visa applicant for providing the additional medical reports and other documents related to economic, social or other circumstances of the applicant for the purpose of offsetting the costs identified by the MOC. However, it must be noted that consideration presented by PIC 4006A clearly depends on the sponsoring employer willingness for the purpose of offsetting the costs identified by the MOC.
As per the advice of DIAC, in maximum cases department granted 4006A waivers, and PIC 4007 is not granted in case if cost of health requirements stated by MOC significantly exceed the threshold related to significant cost and may prejudice to access results in short supply of services to other Australian citizens. Following are some other factors stated below, which are considered by DIAC for the purpose of granting health waiver:
In this case, Celesta is suffering from hearing problem, and she wears regular hearing aids, and she is also progressing. She is attending the kindergarten without any special assistance, and also practicing daily speech with her mother. She is not causing any burden on health care and community services. Therefore, department can grant them waiver of health requirement as per PIC 4007.
However, couple can contribute as family in the Australian economy, because Dimitri is a qualified dentist and his wife is an accomplished cook specializing in Greek regional food. Therefore, department can allowed the waiver after analyzing these skills and qualifications o members.
Department can grant waiver after considering the family condition of Dimitri, as he married in March 2012, and moved to Australia in June 2012, and because of this his wife is facing discrimination in their home village as his husband leaves him as soon as they get married. As per the Dimitri plans, he wants to join his wife and daughter in Australia, and once they are able to stop sending money overseas then they can buy a house here and begin contributing to Australia as a family unit.
Therefore, after considering all the facts it is clear that department can allowed the partner visa of class 309 to Dimitri’s wife.
Thank you
