Our community was deeply shaken by the attack at Westfield Bondi Junction in April, but few felt the impact as much as Liya. However, Liya has recently received incredible news. After our office advocated her case, the Assistant Minister for Immigration, Matt Thistlethwaite, has decided to exercise the public interest power he holds under the Migration Act —she’s now an Australian permanent resident! Back in April, Liya was on a short-term student visa, working locally as a cleaner. After the attack, she spent two weeks in hospital recovering from serious injuries. Her resilience and courage have been truly inspiring. When I spoke to her to give her the good news she was absolutely overjoyed. A huge thank you to Kathryn Roulstone who has been Liya’s main support throughout. To Jonathan Granger from Granger Australia for his support throughout the immigration process. And to everyone in our community who rallied around Liya. I’m incredibly proud that my team and I could help make this happen. We know Australia will benefit greatly by welcoming someone like Liya whose skills will contribute greatly to our country. Liya has said “This means a new beginning for me and I can start my future here and work with my degree.” This is life-changing for her and means a new beginning where she can start her future here and work with her degree and the 5 languages she speaks.

Great day in Wollongong representing the Migration Institute of Australia with Jonathan Granger and George Lombard in the MIA's regional outreach program with Department of Home Affairs and Regional Development Australia. Hosted by RDA Illawarra, the employer and migrant sessions were a great success promoting the value of using an MIA member for professional immigration advice.
Fantastic presentations from Department Home Affairs Business , Industry and Regional Outreach ( BIRO), Work + Stay , Services NSW and Illawarra Multicultural Services to guide local employers and migrants towards successful immigration solutions and moat importantly, how to get the best advice from migration practitioners.

Great news for international students

The Prime Minister has announced yesterday that all international students are permitted to work unrestricted hours in response to the critical labour shortages in Australia. While this will be temporary not a permanent rule for visa holders it extends to all students and not just critical industry sectors such as hospitality industry who already have this concession.

The PM stated in a media statement yesterday

"The Commonwealth has already lifted the 20-hour rule on student visa holders. That decision’s already been taken. That was taken yesterday, after the meetings we had yesterday. So students will have no hour restrictions on them being able to, available for work in Australia if they’re already here"

International students allowed to work more hours to help ease COVID worker shortage The federal government removes working-hour caps on international students, allowing more people to help fill worker shortages caused by the Omicron outbreak.

The Granger Australia team wish you all a very happy holidays and wonderful start to the New Year!

Our office will close from Friday 24th Dec to Monday 10th January. For any urgent matters please email us and we will respond as soon as possible.
