拷贝一下内容：
Health & Character Clearances for
GSM Applications
PRIORITY GROUP 2 (STATE MIGRATION PLAN)
All applicants who meet the following eligibility criteria (Points 1 & 2 below) are invited to
proceed to obtain health and character clearances now.
1. The application was lodged under one of the following visa subclasses:
• Skilled – Independent (Migrant) visa (subclass 175) pre 1/7/2010,
• Skilled – Sponsored (Migrant) visa (subclass 176),
• Skilled – Regional Sponsored (Provisional) visa (subclass 475),
• Skilled – Regional Sponsored (Provisional)visa (subclass 487),
• Skilled - Independent (Residence) visa (subclass 885) pre 1/7/2010, or
• Skilled – Sponsored (Residence) visa (subclass 886), AND
2. A case officer has not yet contacted you about the application.
PRIORITY GROUP 3 APPLICANTS
All applicants who meet the following eligibility criteria (Points 3 & 4 below) are invited to
proceed to obtain health and character clearances now.
3. The application was lodged under one of the following visa subclasses between
15 January 2009 and 30 June 2010:
• Skilled – Independent (Migrant) visa (subclass 175),
• Skilled – Sponsored (Migrant) visa (subclass 176), or
• Skilled – Regional Sponsored (Provisional) visa (subclass 475) ,
OR
The application was lodged under one of the following visa subclasses between
6 November 2009 and 30 September 2010:
• Skilled – Regional Sponsored (Provisional)visa (subclass 487),
• Skilled - Independent (Residence) visa (subclass 885), or
• Skilled – Sponsored (Residence) visa (subclass 886), AND
4. A case officer has not yet contacted you about the application.
Priority Group 2 and Priority Group 3 applicants who meet all respective eligibility criteria may
choose to initiate health and character clearances ahead of their application being assigned
to a case officer for consideration and a formal request for these being made.
Under the current priority processing arrangements it is likely that most applications above
will be considered by a case officer within the validity period of medical and character
clearances, should these clearances be undertaken now.
When providing these clearances, Form 80: Personal particulars for character assessment
(http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/80.pdf), should also be submitted.
In addition, if an applicant has not already done so they should also update the Department
on any change to their circumstances. To do so see information below: Change in
circumstances
All other Priority Group 3 and Priority Group 4 applicants should not yet provide health and
character clearances.
Applicants not from a ‘low risk’ country
It is important to recognise that all applications are considered on their individual
characteristics. As such, processing timeframes will vary in regards to whether an application
is considered to be ‘low risk’ or ‘high risk’.
Applicable clearances, forms or related information may be necessary and will be formally
requested by a case officer on a case-by-case basis once an application has been
considered.
In our experience, processing of an application after allocation to a case officer may be
lengthy (greater than 6 months) for people who are nationals of, or have resided for more
than 12 months in, a ‘high risk’ country. We would strongly encourage these clients to wait
until a formal request for these clearances is made by a case officer. By doing so, additional
costs for replacement health and character clearances may be prevented.
‘High risk’ countries are those which are not included in either of these lists:
• http://www.immi.gov.au/visitors/tourist/evisitor/eligibility.htm, and
• http://www.immi.gov.au/visitors/tourist/976/eligibility.htm.
Priority 3 applications not in this date range
Applications lodged outside of this date range should not yet proceed with health and
character clearances.
In this case applicants can periodically check the GSM Processing Update by emailing
gsm.processing@immi.gov.au as the date ranges for each visa subclass will change.
Benefit of providing Health and Character clearances now
Initiating all necessary health and character clearances now is likely to enable an application
to be considered in a quicker timeframe once it is allocated to a case officer.
It may mean that a decision can be made when first considered, without a case officer
needing to request any further documentation, as considerable delays can be encountered in
requesting and receiving information.
It is important to understand that providing these clearances does not guarantee immediate
processing of an application. Applications will continue to be processed in line with the priority
processing arrangements outlined below.
In undertaking these clearances now, an applicant should be mindful that processing
arrangements may change over time and that any such changes may impact on the validity
of a clearance and the order of assessment of applications. An applicant may be required to
repeat a clearance at their cost in the event of a change to the current application allocation
arrangements.
Priority Processing Arrangements
Applications are being processed according to the prioritisation arrangements set by the
Minister.
Applicants whose applications have a nominated occupation that appears on an active State
Migration Plans – Priority Group 2 are being processed ahead of all Priority Group 3
applications, and Priority Group 3 applications are being processed ahead of Priority Group 4
applications.
Once all Priority Group 2 applications have been allocated, Priority Group 3 applications will
continue to be allocated for consideration in date of lodgement order. This process will be
repeated for Priority Group 4 applications in due time.
To determine which priority group your application falls into please read the information on
the department’s website at:
http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/g ... riority-processing-
arrangements.htm
As mentioned, changes may be made to priority processing arrangements over time and in
such circumstances processing timeframes may vary. Information on changes to processing
arrangements will be available at www.immi.gov.au and by sending a blank email to
gsm.processing@immi.gov.au.
Validity of Health and Character clearances
Priority Group 2 and Priority Group 3 applicants who meet the abovementioned criteria may
choose to initiate new clearances given the likelihood of their application being considered in
coming months.
All other applicants should not yet proceed to obtain new clearances.
Rather, Migration Agents and applicants should monitor this advice until such time as the
relevant date range for lodgement of an application is specified.
Applicants who choose to disregard this advice risk needing to repeat these clearances.
Priority Group 4 applicants
The Department is not yet in a position to advise when Priority Group 4 applications are likely
to be considered, other than that this is likely to occur in the 2011-2012 Migration Program
Year and after all Priority Group 2 and Priority Group 3 applications have been considered.
As such, all Priority Group 4 applicants should not yet undertake health and character
clearances.
Priority Group 4 applicants are encouraged to periodically check the General Skilled
Migration (GSM) Processing Update by emailing gsm.processing@immi.gov.au as the date
ranges for each visa subclass and Priority Group will change over time.
Change in circumstances
If the circumstances of any family members or dependents have changed since lodgement of
an application and DIAC is yet to be notified, completion of the relevant form(s) is required.
See http://www.immi.gov.au/contacts/visa-enquiries/change.htm
eVisa applicants should upload any relevant documentation concerning the change of
circumstance (eg birth or marriage certificate) to the web-browser.
Paper visa applicants should email gsm.documents@immi.gov.au with the relevant form(s)
and supporting documentation.
Questions
Please note that specific guidance on whether or not an applicant should obtain these
clearances now can only be provided once the application is allocated to a case officer for
consideration, as a detailed assessment is required.
