News and Updates

One applicant proactively renewed their Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) on 02 March 2026 while awaiting visa processing. Another applicant updated their AFP on 18 September 2026 before Direction 122 came into effect, recognising it was outside the 12-month validity range.

Tasmania continues to demonstrate rapid processing for Gold priority applicants, with one Social Worker receiving nomination support within 4 days of ROI submission and visa grant within 14 days of visa lodgement.
