Overview

Is there any agriculture visa to get PR in Australia? 

The Austrlaian Agriculture visa program is being introduced to address workforce shortages in the agriculture sector. It is a stream of the Temporary Work (International Relations) subclass 403 visa.

  • The program delivers on the Government’s commitment to put in place a good workforce to support the growth of Australia’s agricultural industries.
  • Employees across a range of agricultural sectors and skill levels can enjoy the benefit of Agriculture Visa program
  • Australia is still waiting for Bilateral agreements with a small number of countries in Southeast Asia. Discussions with Indonesia are advanced. Details are expected to be finalised shortly.
  • The Agriculture Visa is a sponsored visa program, operating with APPROVED EMPLOYERS and robust worker protections.
  • Workers have their own flexibility and right to move between approved employers without compromising workforce standards and undermining worker protections.

Australia Government is doing everything to protect the work right of both labour force and employers in agricultural sector.

How do I participate in the Agriculture Visa program as an Australian employer?

  • There is industry agreement between the Australian government and employers in Australia about approaching the program.
  • The foreign minister is working with a selected group of employers to bring in a small initial group of employees. This will allow us to test systems and processes before the program’s expansion throughout 2022.
    • ­Employer application and eligibility requirements for the expanded phase are expected to be published on DFAT’s Agriculture Visa program website when they are confirmed in April 2022

 

How will the process of approving employers be managed under Agriculture Visa program?

The Agriculture Visa is a managed (sponsored) visa. ­

  • Employers directly recruiting employees from overseas will need to be approved to participate in the program and as a Temporary Activity Sponsor (TAS) under the Migration Regulations 1994. For more information on TAS see: Become a sponsor Temporary activities sponsor (homeaffairs.gov.au) ­
  • Under portability arrangements, employers who wish to employ agriculture visa holders who are already in Australia need to be approved to participate in the program but are not required to be a TAS.

All participating employers will have to meet a series of requirements including:

      1. becoming an Approved Employer under the Agriculture Visa program by:

  1. showing evidence that they are currently an Approved Employer under the PALM Scheme; OR
  2. showing evidence that they are currently accredited under an endorsed industry accreditation scheme, with a financial solvency and Fair Work Ombudsman workplace compliance history check; OR
  3. applying to become an approved employer under the Agriculture Visa program application process, with a financial solvency and Fair Work Ombudsman workplace compliance history check.

      2. signing a Deed of Agreement. Following approval, employers will sign a Deed of Agreement with DFAT that sets out their obligations as                  participants in the program including employee protections, conditions and standards.

Once employers are approved to participate in the Agriculture Visa program and have signed the Deed of Agreement, the process of recruiting employees under the Agriculture Visa involves: ­

  • providing evidence to DFAT of labour market testing; ­
  • submitting a recruitment plan and an accommodation and transport plan to DFAT; ­
  • providing employees with an offer of employment that sets out information about the nature of the employment, pay and conditions and any portability arrangements; ­
  • managing recruitment arrangements in line with program guidelines (note: predeparture briefing will be provided to visa holders that includes information on life, culture and workplace rights in Australia and rights and obligations under the Agriculture visa program}. ­
  • after these requirements have been met, employers must:
  1. arrange visas and travel for employees;
  2. offer DFAT-approved accommodation options
  3. provide an on-arrival briefing, invite the Fair Work Ombudsman and the relevant union representative to be present.

Compliance and monitoring arrangements will be key to the program’s implementation.

What are the requirements to apply for Agriculture Visa program 2021/2022?

Initial applications from workers to participate in the Agricultural Visa program will need to be completed offshore.

Applicants must meet the following criteria to be able to participate in the Agriculture Visa program: ­

  • have the necessary skills to perform in the occupation in which they are being employed (where relevant); ­
  • have minimum English language skills IELTS of 4.0 overall or equivalent (or higher when the specific occupation requires it); ­
  • be unaccompanied (participants will not be able to bring family members); ­
  • meet the minimum age requirement of 21 years of age with no maximum age requirement; ­ 
  • being sponsored to Australia by a Temporary Activities Sponsor (TAS) who is an employer approved by DFAT to participate in the program;
  • being supported by DFAT to participate in the program;
  • meeting all character and health requirements; and
  • having adequate health insurance for the period of stay in Australia.

You must meet the following requirements when you apply for the Agriculture visa:

  • proof of intention to perform agricultural work for the bulk of your time in Australia;
  • proof of any skills you have in agriculture or food/textile processing facilities.

You should be outside of Australia when you submit the visa and when the visa is granted.

What sectors and skills are covered by the Agriculture Visa program?

There over a hundred types of farm jobs for agricultural visitors. Most of these positions are picking, packing and processing of fruits such as blueberries, mangoes and citrus. Opportunities depending on your skills and experience could include:

  • Dairy farming;
  • Cotton harvesting;
  • Vegetable picking;
  • Livestock care;
  • Medicinal marijuana farming;
  • Solar farming;
  • Grain harvesting;
  • Meat processing;
  • Commercial fishing;
  • Forestry maintenance
  1. The Agriculture Visa program will target skilled, semi-skilled and low-skilled employees within specified occupations across these sectors.
  2. In the initial phase, recruitment will focus on lower skilled occupations, and this will be expanded as the program evolves.
  3. Employees must have the experience and/or qualifications to commence work at the skill level and occupation for which they are recruited (where relevant).

Will the Agriculture Visa program have a maximum number of overseas employees?

It was planned by National party that Agriculture Visa program will be uncapped  in the number of agricultural workers who can come in Australia from ASEAN countries. With its fear of people smugglers and undermining of the Pacific Australia Labour Mobility scheme, It has been limited to only 1000 workers as of now

Caps will be reviewed annually in consultation with sending countries which will be linked to annual migration review

  • This will help build up the agriculture workforce demand and supply gap without humiliating other schemes or reduce illegal activities from outside the country.
  • Final decisions will be made by the Australian Government

Will employees be able to move between employers?

  • Yes, portability between different approved employers will be a feature of the program for the seasonal cohort. Initially, portability will need to be agreed prior to workers’ arrival in Australia. Other models will be explored as the program expands.
  • The program will enable employees under the seasonal cohort to move between approved employers, under an arrangement approved by DFAT, during their period of stay. It can be up to 4 years for visa holders in the long-term cohort
  • The design seeks to benefit both employers and employees, and the informed consent of employees is fundamental:
    • Employees must agree to each movement upfront, prior to movement, and sign a letter of offer outlining role, location, pay and conditions.
    • Portability provides employers with access to workers for short-term periods and assists them to manage seasonal work demands.
  • As the program evolves, further models for portability will be explored and tested with stakeholders with a review of portability arrangements to occur after the first year of program implementation.

Can Agriculture Visa holders apply for permanent residency?

The Agriculture visa will provide a long-term, reliable workforce to support ongoing growth of Australia’s critical agricultural industries as they strive to reach $100 billion in value by 2030.

The Government has committed to creating options for permanent residence pathways for participants in the program, including regional settlement, acknowledging that this will involve further consultation and design work.

The Government will make announcements on permanent residence pathways in due course.

Will the Agriculture Visa program require domestic labour market testing?

Yes, definitely. Employers will be required to demonstrate that they have sought Australian workers for the positions advertised prior to being able to recruit agriculture visa workers for the roles.

Will employers be required to arrange accommodation to a set standard for employees under the Agriculture Visa?

Under the program, employers must offer employees suitable and affordable accommodation, to support employees’ initial settling-in period in Australia.

 Before offering employment, employers must ensure that the accommodation meets minimum standards and has been approved by DFAT. ­

DFAT will assess accommodation, against the requirements set out in the Employer Guidelines, to ensure it is safe and secure, meets any Work Health and Safety or state and territory legislation, costs are fair and transparent, and the accommodation is fit for purpose and in good condition.

DFAT will recognise accommodation that has been approved under the PALM scheme.

 Employees may elect to arrange their own accommodation after they are in Australia. ­

In these situations, it will be the employee’s responsibility to identify suitable accommodation.

 If an employee moves to a new placement under portability arrangements, the receiving employer must identify suitable accommodation options, that meet minimum standards and are approved by DFAT.

 The standards of accommodation approved by DFAT will align with standards under the PALM scheme.

 Accommodation will be subject to ongoing compliance checks.

What is the application process?

The Agriculture visa is not yet available but when it is, the expected process is:

  1. Consult with Work Visa Lawyers to determine if the Agriculture visa is appropriate for your situation.
  2. Gather and compile your documents and information for the application.
  3. Submit the application and supporting documents online using an ImmiAccount. You may also submit an application by post.

Migration Judicial Review at the Federal Circuit Court

There are many visa applicants who have received a visa refusal and then appealed the decision to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) for merits review, only to find that the AAT did not find in the applicants’ favour. If the AAT has affirmed the Department of Home Affairs’ decision to refuse your visa and you believe that an error was made in reaching this decision, you may be able to apply for a judicial review.

For a number of reasons, the applicant who has been unsuccessful at the AAT should seek legal advice as to their options for judicial review at the Federal Circuit Court (FCC).

The reason why there is a judicial review option is because the AAT process can also be flawed. Even though the AAT is an independent body, that does not mean they always come to the correct decision.

 

What is Migration Judicial Review?

The Court may only review a decision in order to determine if a ‘jurisdictional error’ has been made. This means the Court determines if the decision has been made according to law. The Court is independent of decision makers and does not consider the merits of your application and whether you should or should not be granted a visa.

If the Court finds a jurisdictional error, it can:

  • refer your case back to the decision maker, and
  • prevent the Minister from acting on the decision.

The Court cannot:

  • reconsider the facts and reasons for your visa application
  • take new factual information into account (unless it is relevant to a question of whether the decision maker made a jurisdictional error), or
  • grant you a visa.

You can remain in Australia on a bridging visa while you await a decision.

 

What is a jurisdictional error?

A jurisdictional error is where a decision-maker commits an error of law by interpreting the law incorrectly. Below is a non-exhaustive list of possible jurisdictional errors:

  • Failure to provide procedural fairness, in relation to s 359A of the Migration Act 1958(Cth). This involves not providing the applicant the opportunity to comment on or respond to an issue that would form the reason for affirming the decision.
  • Where the AAT identified the wrong issue, asked the wrong question or applied the wrong test
  • Failure to consider relevant material. There will be jurisdictional error if a decision-maker fails to take into account a relevant consideration. Conversely there will be error if the decision-maker takes into account irrelevant material.
  • Considering irrelevant material
  • Failure to consider claims. If it is apparent that the decision-maker has otherwise misunderstood and thereby failed to correctly determine the claims there will be error.
  • Breach of rules of natural justice/failure to follow mandatory procedures
  • Procedural fairness not afforded where the applicant was excluded from being present while material witnesses gives evidence
  • Apprehended or actual bias. The test for actual bias is that the decision-maker must show a state of mind that is so committed to a conclusion already formed as to be incapable of alteration, whatever evidence or arguments may be presented.
  • Illogicality, irrationality or unreasonableness

If you do not fit one of the examples provided above, you may still have grounds for judicial review. Contact us if you believe the AAT has made a juridictional error in its decision and we can provide expert legal advice as to your prospects of success at the FCC.

 

Is there a Time Limit to Appeal to the Federal Circuit Court? 

There are strict deadlines for lodging a judicial review with the FCC. You need to file an application 35 days from the date of the AAT decision. You may request for an extension of time and the Court will decide whether to grant the extension of time.

As there is a short time limit to appeal, it is important that you seek legal advice as soon as possible, if you believe that a jurisdictional error has been made.

 

Seeking Legal Advice: Difference Between a Migration Agent and a Lawyer

In Australia, only a qualified lawyer can give legal advice on the prospects of success of an application to the Court when seeking to prove that a jurisdictional error has occurred. It is important that you seek professional legal advice before embarking on the judicial review process.

At a court hearing, the Minister for Home Affairs will be represented by a lawyer and you will have the opportunity to respond to what is said in Court. If you have a lawyer, they will speak on your behalf. Therefore it is important to be represented by a lawyer to reduce the stresses that are involved leading up to and during the court hearing.

Registered Migration Agents cannot act on your behalf in completing the judicial review application to the Court but an Australian Immigration Lawyer can.

At Work Visa Lawyers, we have a team of dedicated Immigration Lawyers who are also Registered Migration Agents. We are experienced in the judicial review process and are committed to getting positive outcomes for our clients.

 

What if you do not have appeal options to the Federal Circuit Court?

You may be eligible to seek Ministerial Intervention of the visa application if there are no other legal alternatives for you to stay in Australia.

The Ministerial Intervention route can be successful if you can show unique and compelling circumstances that are sufficient to warrant a visa to be granted to you and your family. Everyone’s circumstances are different so it is important that you seek legal advice as soon as possible. We can also assist you with a request for Ministerial Intervention.

Appeal to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal

An Australian Visa refusal can be devastating for everyone involved and can put your future in Australia in immediate jeopardy and uncertainty. However, your visa refusal does not necessarily mean it is the end of your pathway to Australia. 

 

What can you do about a visa refusal in Australia?

If you have received a visa refusal, your immediate concern is to ask whether the Department of Home Affairs made the right decision. We know from experience that the Department makes errors all the time in their decision-making procedures, especially when there is subjective or discretionary criteria involved. 

You may have appeal rights if you have a visa refusal based on:

The Department does not always make the correct decision which is why there is a review body, known as the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) to look at your visa application independently from the Department's perspective and decide whether the visa ought to have been granted.

 

What time frames does the AAT have?

If you appeal a refusal or a cancellation of a visa you may be required to present your argument to the Tribunal in a few months or more. Your matter is important to you, but the AAT has a long list of applicants (who are also appealing a refusal or cancellation visa) and so the time frame can extend out to about 2 years. During this time, you will be holding a Bridging Visa to keep you lawful in Australia, usually with work rights.

Click here for the latest AAT processing times.

 

What if your Visa Refusal was outside of Australia?

If you receive a visa refusal outside of Australia, there are limited options depending on the type of visa you applied for.

Usually, Partner visas or other sponsored visas, such as employer-sponsored visas, can be appealed by the Sponsor in Australia. 

 

Do you need legal assistance with an AAT appeal? How can Work Visa Lawyers help?

You do not have to have a Lawyer or a Registered Migration Agent (RMA) to lodge a review and to appear before the AAT. But you may benefit from the experience of an Immigration Lawyer and RMA. 

We know from our experience that it is not easy to convince a Tribunal member that your visa application meets the criteria, but we have been successful on many occasions even when the odds seemed slim! 

Work Visa Lawyers will provide you with sound advice as to your prospects of success in overcoming the challenge of convincing the Tribunal that you should be granted the visa.

We assist you with:

  • Understanding what the Tribunal is looking for;
  • Preparing you for the hearing;
  • Obtaining additional supporting information to improve your chances of success at the Tribunal;
  • Attend the hearing with you to ensure that the hearing is conducted fairly; and
  • Provide pre and post written submissions to clearly show the Tribunal why the Department was incorrect and why your visa should not have been refused.

 

What if the AAT makes the wrong decision?

It is possible that the Tribunal makes the wrong decision because the Migration Act and Regulations are constantly changing! This means there can be a lot of confusion which can lead to errors.

If you believe the Tribunal has made the wrong decision you should seek legal advice from Work Visa Lawyers to determine whether you have the option to appeal the decision to the Federal Circuit Court. In the Federal Circuit Court, you need to demonstrate that there has been an error which is known as a 'jurisdictional error'. 

Only lawyers can assist you with your application to the Federal Circuit Court. Here at Work Visa Lawyers, we have a wealth of experience in advising clients whether the Tribunal has made a jurisdictional error. Our team of Immigration Lawyers are committed to getting positive outcomes for our clients.

 

What are your other options after an unsuccessful AAT appeal?

You may have other options including: -

Due to a visa refusal you may be section 48 barred, meaning you may need to go offshore to lodge the visa application.

Ministerial Intervention

The Minister of Immigration and Citizenship has powers to grant visas and make a new decision in substitute for the decisions made by review bodies such as the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT).

These powers are discretionary and are only exercised in limited circumstances. The power will only be exercised if it is in the public interest to do so. The Minister’s powers can often only be exercised if the AAT has made a decision.

Applicants for Ministerial Intervention must hold a valid visa.

 

When will the minister intervene?

The Minister is more likely to intervene in the following case:

  • There are strong compassionate reasons for intervention where one or more of the person’s family members is an Australian citizen and their removal would create continuing hardship to the Australian citizen
  • There are compassionate reasons relating to the person’s age, health (physical and psychological)
  • There is an exceptional scientific, economic or cultural benefit to the person remaining in Australia
  • The person cannot be returned to their country of origin because of circumstances beyond their control
  • The person is at risk of mistreatment and harm if they returned to their country of origin

When won’t the minister intervene?

The Minister cannot intervene if:

  • There is no decision from the AAT
  • The AAT found that it did not have jurisdiction or that the application was made outside of the time limit
  • It is against public interest to intervene.

 

Do you need help?

Our team of experienced Immigration Lawyers and Migration Agents look forward to assisting you with an application for Ministerial Intervention.

What are the grounds for visa cancellation?

There are various grounds on which an Australian visa can be cancelled, including:

  • Providing false and misleading information on your visa application
  • Providing a bogus document on your visa application
  • If your visa was granted based on information that no longer exists, such as relationship breakdown in partner visas
  • On character grounds, if you do not pass the character requirements
  • If you fail to comply with the conditions on your visa, such as ceasing work for more than 60 days on an employer-sponsored visa or working more than the permitted 48 hours per fortnight on a student visa
  • You are holding a temporary visa based on a partner relationship with the primary visa holder when the relationship ceased.
  • If your presence in Australia pose a risk to the health, safety or good order of the Australian community, the Minister or Delegate has a discretion to cancel your visa.
  • Where you are the secondary visa holder and the primary visa holder’s visa is cancelled, then consequential cancellation will occur.
  • If you are involved in paying for visa sponsorship, for example if you paid money for an employer to sponsor you, your work visa could be cancelled.
  • If you breach Australian biosecurity laws, for example if you bring hazardous materials into Australia then your Visitor Visa can be cancelled.

 

What is the visa cancellation process?

If the Department of Home Affairs is considering cancelling your visa, in most cases, you will be sent a Notice of Intention to Consider Cancellation and given the opportunity to respond to the notice. This notice will be a warning that your visa is at risk of cancellation with written reasons, and you will be given a deadline to provide your response.

If the Department accepts your response, then your visa will not be cancelled, and you continue to hold a valid visa. The Department’s acceptance of your response will be dependent on the strength of your submissions as to why your visa should not be cancelled.

If the Department does not accept your response or you fail to provide a response, then a Notice of Cancellation will be sent to you and your visa will cease.

 

What are your options if your visa is cancelled?

If the Department makes a discretionary decision to cancel your visa while you are in Australia, you may be able to appeal the cancellation in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT). There are time limits for applying for an appeal which can be as short as 9 days and so it is important that you act quickly after you receive a copy of a Notice of Cancellation. If you miss the deadline to apply for an appeal with the AAT, you may lose your opportunity to have the decision reviewed as the AAT do not have the power to extend the deadline to make an application.

If the AAT affirms the decision to cancel your visa, you may apply to the Federal Circuit Court for judicial review of the AAT’s decision. You must establish that a jurisdictional error had been made.

We understand that receiving a Notice of Intention to Consider Cancellation or Notice of Cancellation can be stressful. If you wish to respond to a notice to consider cancellation, apply for revocation or appeal a visa cancellation to the AAT or Federal Circuit Court, contact us as soon as possible so that we can work together to meet the strict time limits.
