A new national compliance operation led by the Australian Border Force has already resulted in more than 100 workplace inspections across six states and territories, with further inspections planned nationwide. Early findings identified concerns, including inadequate training plans and trainees undertaking duties unrelated to approved training activities.

For employers sponsoring trainees, the operation highlights the importance of ensuring training arrangements are genuine, properly documented and aligned with approved program objectives.

So far in 2026, Absolute Immigration Legal has successfully supported 174 clients through some of the most complex and high-stakes migration matters.

From visa refusals and cancellations to tribunal appeals, ministerial intervention requests, character matters and urgent legal submissions, each outcome represents more than a legal result. It represents certainty restored, opportunities protected and futures put back on track.

When clients face significant immigration challenges, they need more than advice. They need experienced legal advocates who can provide clear direction, strong representation and practical solutions when the stakes are highest.

We are proud of the impact our legal team continues to make for individuals, families and businesses navigating Australia's migration system.

๐Ÿค This Refugee Week, we recognise the strength, courage and resilience of refugees who have overcome immense challenges in search of safety, opportunity and a place to call home.

The 2026 theme, A Million Stories, reminds us that behind every refugee journey is a unique story of perseverance, hope and determination. It also celebrates the one million refugees who have been welcomed to Australia since World War II and the lasting contributions they have made to our communities, workplaces and society.

At Absolute Immigration Group, we are privileged to work with people from diverse backgrounds every day. Refugee Week is a meaningful reminder that every journey matters, every story has value, and inclusive communities are stronger because of the people who help shape them.

Together, we celebrate the individuals, families and communities whose stories inspire understanding, compassion and belonging ๐Ÿงก

As of June 2026, most student visa refusal reviews are now being decided by the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) on the papers rather than through a hearing.

This means many applicants will no longer have the opportunity to explain their circumstances directly to the Tribunal and must instead rely on written submissions and supporting evidence.

The move is expected to streamline application processing, improve visibility for applicants, and reduce delays linked to paper-based lodgements.

Temporary Parent visa subclasses 173 and 884 must still be lodged by paper application.

Families and sponsors should ensure they are using the correct lodgement method, as incorrect submissions may lead to delays or applications not being accepted.

The Administrative Review Tribunal and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2026 expands the ARTโ€™s ability to determine certain temporary visa review matters โ€œon the papersโ€ without conducting an oral hearing.

The amendments apply to certain temporary visa review matters that may be prescribed under the Migration Regulations.

While no temporary visa subclasses have yet been prescribed under the Migration Regulations, the legislative framework allowing these paper-based review processes has now commenced.

Has your immigration representative ceased operations?

If you have a visa application, sponsorship matter, Labour Agreement, ART review, or other immigration matter in progress, it is important to act quickly.

For employers, this may also impact sponsored workers, pending nominations, sponsorship obligations, and workforce planning initiatives.

While your immigration matter generally remains active, important correspondence and requests from the Department of Home Affairs may still be directed to your former representative until your details are updated.

At Absolute Immigration Group, we have been supporting individuals, families, HR teams, and businesses with immigration advice and services for more than 25 years.

Whether you need assistance with an existing visa application, an employer-sponsored migration matter, sponsorship compliance, or a complex immigration issue, our team can help you understand your options and identify any urgent next steps.

We are currently offering a complimentary initial consultation to help affected individuals and employers:

โ€ข Understand the status of their matter
โ€ข Identify urgent deadlines
โ€ข Update representation details
โ€ข Discuss available options
โ€ข Develop a clear pathway forward
