If your child is born after you’ve lodged your visa application but before a decision is made, it's important to notify the Department of Home Affairs as soon as possible.

Once notified, your baby:
✅ Will be considered to hold the same visa(s) that you and the other parent held at the time of birth
✅ Will be added to any unfinalised visa applications
✅ Will have no additional application fee

📄 What to upload via your ImmiAccount:
✔️ Form 1022 – Notification of changes in circumstances
✔️ Colour scan of your baby’s Australian birth certificate
✔️ Passport pages (once available – can be uploaded later)

💡 Your baby’s visa will carry the same conditions (e.g., work rights, bridging visa status) as yours and the other parent’s.

🛂 Important: Your child must still meet visa grant requirements like sponsorship (if applicable), health checks, and holding a valid passport.

⚠️ Already had your visa refused?
Still notify the Department of your baby’s birth. While the baby’s application may also be refused, this allows you to include them in any potential merits review process and helps them remain lawful in Australia.

Australia's permanent Migration Program remains at 185,000 places for 2026–27.

But while the total number has not changed, the composition of the program tells a much bigger story.

Employer Sponsored
44,000 → 58,040

Skilled Independent
16,900 → 21,090

State/Territory Nominated
33,000 → 35,500

Regional
33,000 → 14,110

Talent and Innovation
5,300 → 3,500

Partner
40,500 → 41,500

Child
3,000 → 3,500

Parent
8,500 → 7,060

And most importantly, the Government is focusing the 2026–27 program on migrants already in Australia, with 129,590 places allocated to onshore migrants.

The direction is becoming clearer.

Australia wants to support migrants who are already contributing to the workforce, address long-term skill shortages and create more timely pathways to permanent residence.

For future applicants, this means your migration plan should not be based only on points.

Your Australian employment, occupation, English, skills, employer and long-term contribution may all play an increasingly important role.

Same migration program size. Different migration priorities.

Are you an overseas worker in Australia?

Whether you are on a student visa, graduate visa, sponsored visa or another visa with work rights, you have workplace rights and protections under Australian law.

Your employer must treat you fairly and follow Australian workplace laws.

You are entitled to:

Legal pay rates
Payslips
Superannuation
Tax documents
Safe working conditions
Proper leave entitlements
Fair shift arrangements
Correct dismissal or redundancy process

If you are on a sponsored visa, your employer must also meet the relevant salary and employment requirements connected to your visa.

Most importantly, remember this:

Your employer cannot cancel your visa.

Only the Australian Government can grant, change or cancel a visa.

Do not accept threats such as “I will cancel your visa” or “you have no rights because you are on a visa”.

Your visa status does not remove your workplace rights.

If you are being underpaid, forced to work unsafe hours, denied payslips, threatened about your visa, or unsure whether your employment situation may affect your visa, seek advice early.

At Provisa, we help overseas workers understand their visa conditions, sponsorship situation and available options.

10/09/2026

Employer-sponsored permanent residency can be a strong pathway for skilled professionals in Australia, especially through the Direct Entry stream of the Subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme visa.

If you have the right occupation, skills, experience and an eligible employer willing to support you, this pathway may allow you to apply directly for permanent residency.

The process generally involves three key stages:

1. Skills Assessment

You will usually need a positive skills assessment from the relevant assessing authority to show that your qualifications and work experience meet Australian standards for your nominated occupation.

2. Employer Nomination

Your employer must nominate you for an eligible occupation on the relevant occupation list.

The employer also needs to demonstrate that:

The position is genuine and required for the business
The role aligns with the business operations
The salary meets the applicable income threshold and market salary requirements
The business has the capacity to employ you in the nominated role

From 1 July 2026, the Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold is AUD $79,423 for relevant nomination applications.

3. Visa Application

Once the nomination pathway is being prepared, the visa applicant must also meet the relevant visa requirements.

For the Direct Entry stream, applicants generally need:

A valid skills assessment
Competent English
At least 3 years of relevant work experience, unless exempt
Health and character clearance
A nominated occupation that matches their skills and experience

Important Considerations

The nominated role must be genuine.
Your experience should usually be at the required skill level.
Some occupations may require registration, licensing or professional membership.
Both the employer and applicant must meet strict requirements.
Weak documents or an unsuitable nomination can affect the outcome.

The Subclass 186 Direct Entry pathway can offer a direct route to permanent residency, but it requires proper planning from both the employer and the applicant.

If your visa sponsor dies and you have an ongoing visa application, you need to tell department as soon as possible.

You need to complete the Notification of Relationship Cessation form in the Update Details in ImmiAccount

If you are having trouble completing the ImmiAccount form, complete the Partner Processing Enquiry Form.​

▶you have applied for a Partner visa (subclass 820)
▶you can prove that your relationship would have continued if your partner was still alive, and
▶you have close business, cultural or personal ties in Australia.

you are in Australia and you hold or held a Prospective Marriage visa (subclass 300)
▶you married your partner before they died, and
▶you can prove that your relationship would have continued if your partner was still alive, and
▶you have close business, cultural or personal ties in Australia.​

You may still get a Partner visa (subclass 801) if:
▶you hold a temporary Partner visa (subclass 820), and
▶you can prove your relationship would have continued if your partner was still alive, and
▶you have close business, cultural or personal ties in Australia.

You may still be eligible for a temporary and permanent Partner visa if:
▶you have applied for your provisional Partner visa (subclass 309), and
you are in Australia, and
▶you are eligible to be granted your provisional Partner visa (subclass 309) while ▶you are in Australia, under a COVID-19 visa concession​, and
▶your partner or spouse who sponsored your application has died, and
▶you can prove your relationship would have continued if your partner was still alive.

You may still get a permanent Partner visa (subclass 100) if:
▶you first entered Australia as the holder of a provisional Partner visa (subclass 309) and continue to hold that visa, and
▶your partner or spouse who sponsored your application died after you first entered Australia as the holder of a provisional Partner visa (subclass 309), and
▶you can prove your relationship would have continued if your partner was still alive.

If your visa sponsor dies and you have an ongoing visa application, you need to tell the department as soon as possible.

Thinking about lodging a judicial review after a visa refusal?

Before you apply, understand the risk of cost orders.

If your case is unsuccessful, dismissed, adjourned or discontinued, you may be ordered to pay the other party’s legal costs.

Judicial review should not be used only to “buy time” without knowing the legal and financial risks.

Before going to court, get proper advice on your grounds, timeline and possible costs.

At Provisa, we can help you review your decision and understand your options.

One of the biggest changes in Australia's 2026–27 Migration Program is the sharp increase in the Employer Sponsored category.

The planning level has increased from:

44,000 places in 2025–26
to
58,040 places in 2026–27

That is an additional 14,040 places.

The Government says the increase is designed to support timely permanent residence pathways for temporary migrants who are filling skills gaps and contributing to Australia's labour market.

For migrants already working in Australia, this is a strong reminder to review whether employer sponsorship may be available.

Depending on your occupation, experience and employer, pathways such as the Skills in Demand subclass 482, Employer Nomination Scheme subclass 186 or regional employer-sponsored options may need to form part of your strategy.

Waiting only for a 189, 190 or 491 invitation may no longer be the best plan for everyone.

Already working for an Australian employer?

It may be time to ask a bigger question:

Can your employment become part of your permanent residency pathway?

08/09/2026

Nomination and visa applications for certain skilled visas are now processed according to Government policy priorities outlined in Ministerial Direction 119, which came into effect on 25 July 2026. From that date, Ministerial Direction 119 replaced all processing priorities under Ministerial Direction 105. Two things now decide where your application sits in the queue: the occupation your application is linked to, and whether you were inside or outside Australia when you lodged. Nothing else. None of this changes who qualifies for a visa. It only changes who waits longer.

If you're in Australia without lawful status, you could face detention and deportation. The Australian government may also request reimbursement for these costs from you. Being an illegal non-citizen significantly reduces your chances of immigrating to Australia, limiting the visas you can apply for.

If you're in a situation where you believe you've become an unlawful non-citizen and require assistance with your migration status, don't hesitate to reach out to us. You can contact us by calling 02 9007 4409 or booking an appointment at provisa.setmore.com. We're here to help.
