Refugees: Good New – Family reunion pathway for refugee boat arrivals on permanent visas has been restored after a decade

Refugees: Good New – Family reunion pathway for refugee boat arrivals on permanent visas has been restored after a decade.

As reported by SBS,

Labor has cleared the way for refugees on permanent visas who came to Australia by boat to bring family members to Australia.

Under the former Coalition government’s immigration policy, family reunion applications by refugee boat arrivals holding permanent visas were given the “lowest priority” in visa processing under Ministerial Direction 80.

Immigration Minister Andrew Giles has now formally reversed that policy, replacing Ministerial Directions 80 and 83.

Federal Court Justice for refugees who arrived by boat! Big win for Protection Visa – IAA appeal to the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.

 

The decision does not apply to people on a Temporary Protection Visa.
The government estimates the decision, foreshadowed last November, opens a path for visa processing for tens of thousands of family members waiting for their requests to be considered.
