Having health insurance doesn't always mean you're fully covered.

DHA's current guidance on adequate health insurance highlights several details visa holders should be aware of, from out-of-pocket costs and waiting periods to exclusions and minimum benefit levels.

For some visa holders, maintaining adequate health insurance is also a visa condition.

We've unpacked the key points and what to look out for.

📢 Gilton Valeo Lawyers at the VETASSESS Masterclass Roadshow

Members of the GVL team attended the VETASSESS Masterclass Roadshow in Sydney on 29 September.

The session was a great opportunity to hear from VETASSESS senior leaders and assessors, discuss skills assessment requirements and common application challenges, and connect with fellow migration professionals.

A valuable day of learning and staying across the latest insights in Australian migration.

🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ STEPtember at GVL!

Who said working in migration law means we have to stay glued to our desks? 😄

This September, the GVL team has been getting our steps in. From walks between meetings to getting out and about with the team, we’re making movement part of the workday — and making it fun while we’re at it!

Beyond the step count, STEPtember is a great opportunity to connect as a team, support each other and raise awareness for cerebral palsy. 💙

A few extra steps, some fresh air and good company — not a bad way to spend September! 👟

Direction 123 is set to introduce new guidance for visa refusal and cancellation decisions on character grounds.

From changes to character considerations to broader domestic and family violence guidance, there are several updates to be aware of.

We’ve put together a quick overview in this carousel.

MD120 isn't an isolated policy tweak — it reflects a global trend of governments using migration as an economic strategy, competing for innovators, researchers and entrepreneurs who can drive productivity and growth.

For National Innovation Visa applicants, technical eligibility still matters. But strategic positioning — showing why you're the right person, at the right time, for Australia's future — is becoming just as important.

Australia’s skilled visa processing priorities have changed.

From 19 September 2026, Ministerial Directions 121 and 122 replace the previous processing priorities under MD 119.

The new framework separates skilled visa applications into two directions:

🔹 MD 121 for Subclass 482 applications, with 5 processing priority tiers
🔹 MD 122 for certain provisional and permanent skilled visa applications, with 4 processing priority tiers

A key change is the introduction of a combined top priority tier covering construction, healthcare, teaching, agriculture, aquaculture, fishing, resources, law enforcement and defence-related occupations.

MD 121 also introduces a dedicated priority tier for the Specialist Skills stream.

Importantly, the new priorities apply not only to applications lodged from 19 September, but also to applications already lodged that had not been finally determined by that date.

Swipe through for a snapshot of the changes.
