Business Skills – Senior Managers Provisions
On 1 July 2009, the policy relating to the senior manager provisions of the State/Territory Sponsored Business Owner (Provisional) visa (subclass 163) will be amended.
The current senior manager provisions are covered by clause 163.111 and subclause 163.212(b) of the Migration Regulations 1994 and are defined in Section 9 of PAM3 Sch2 Visa 163.
The policy amendments will assist agents to compile quality visa applications for clients who do not own a business but have the necessary qualifications and management experience to establish a successful business in Australia.
The amendments clarify and define:
- a senior manager
- management experience
- appropriate experience in absence of formal qualifications
- the decision-making, day to day responsibility and management hierarchy requirements relating to sound and continuous employment.
Additional information is available from LEGEND on 1 July 2009.
