The Migration Regulations have been amended to allow sponsors 28
days in which to make notifications to the Department.
The change will increase the timeframe in which employers must
notify the Department of relevant events under the Sponsorship
Obligations from 10 days to 28 days.
This extension will better enable businesses to make the
required notifications and is intended to align with 28 day
reporting requirements in other areas.
Details of the Sponsorship Obligations and related Notifications
are available on our website
here.
The changes become effective from 18 April 2015.
Further amendments are expected in coming months as the Federal
Government seeks to implement the supported reforms from the
Independent Report, Robust New Foundations. Eventus
Immigration will continue to provide updates on changes that affect
employers.
