大家好，最近澳大利亚移民局有些动作，特此为大家总结一下：
 
　　消息一：免费排队父母移民可能重新开放！

　　最近澳洲移民协会（MIA）通知我们， 排队父母移民有可能会重新短暂开放， 消息来源如下：
Disallowance motion - Non contributory parent and aged parent, aged dependent relative, remaining relative and carer visas
Senator Hanson-Young is shortly intending to move a disallowance motion against the Migration Amendment (Repeal of Certain Visa Classes) Regulation 2014, as contained in Select Legislative Instrument 2014 No. 65  [F2014L00622], made under the Migration Act 1958.  The Instrument ceased the non contributory parent and aged parent, aged dependent relative, remaining relative and carer vis subclasses.
IF the disallowance motion is successful, there may be a short period of time to again lodge applications for these visa subclasses before moves are made to again close these pathways.
If Members have applications that could be lodged prior to the cessation, they may consider whether these may be validly lodged during this period.
To assist Members, the original forms are available for Members to download below:
·Form 40 - Sponsorship for migration to Australia (parent, aged dependent relative, remaining relative, carer) 
·Form 47 PA - Application for a parent to migrate to Australia
·Form 47 OF - Application for migration to Australia by other family members 
 
The lodgement instructions from Members Notice 57, 30 May 2014 are also repeated below: 

Parent Visas subclass 103 and Subclass 804

Applications must be posted or couriered to the Parent Visa Centre 
Emailed and faxed applications will not be accepted! Schedule 1 does not allow it.

Remaining Relative

·Subclass 115 - Applications can be lodged at any overseas DIBP office
·Subclass 835 - Although the DIBP website advises that applications can be lodged at the Perth DIBP office, marked “Attention Child and Other Family Processing Centre”, Schedule 1 states that “if no address has been specified for subparagraphs (i) and (ii) — by lodging the application at an office of Immigration.” And there appears to be no addressed specified by the Minister.
There is no legal impediment to lodging an application for this visa at any DIBP office in Australia.

Aged Dependent Relative

·Subclass 114 - Applications can be lodged at any overseas DIBP office
·Subclass 838 - Although the DIBP website advises that applications can be lodged at the Perth DIBP office, marked “Attention Child and Other Family Processing Centre”, Schedule 1 states that “if no address has been specified for subparagraphs (i) and (ii) — by lodging the application at an office of Immigration.” And there appears to be no addressed specified by the Minister.
There is no legal impediment to lodging an application for this visa at any DIBP office in Australia.

Carer

·Subclass 116 - Applications can be lodged at any overseas DIBP office
·Subclass 836 -  Although the DIBP website advises that applications can be lodged at the Perth DIBP office, marked “Attention Child and Other Family Processing Centre”, Schedule 1 states that “if no address has been specified for subparagraphs (i) and (ii) — by lodging the application at an office of Immigration.” And there appears to be no addressed specified by the Minister.
There is no legal impediment to lodging an application for this visa at any DIBP office in Australia.

　　事情是这样的，因为一名绿党议员萨拉将发动废除不许可提案（Disallowance Motion), 取消排队父母移民、亲属移民的移民法条例。如果此举成功，免费排队父母移民、亲属移民可在短时间内重新再次递交申请，但是申请递交只开放一段时间，时间一到申请通道将再次关闭。请大家注意， 申请表格40,47PA是当时申请截止时候所要求的表格。
1. 父母签证103和804类别：
--必须邮寄或快递至父母移民签证中心
--以电子邮件或传真形式递交申请是不被接受和允许的
2. 家属移民：
--115类别可以在海外移民局的办公室递交
--835类别--没有法律约束在澳洲任一移民局办公室递交这一类别的申请，尽管移民局官网建议在佩斯的办公室递交这一签证类别申请
3.年迈受照顾亲属移民
--114类别--申请可以在海外移民局的办公室递交
--838类别--没有法律约束在澳洲任一移民局办公室递交这一类别的申请，尽管移民局官网建议在佩斯的办公室递交这一签证类别申请

澳大利亚留学网提醒之前没有来得及递交的同学，早点准备起来。
 
 
消息二：指定区域移民政策！
 
　　移民部副部长Cash女士在2014年8月29日宣布完成指定区域移民政策的政策指南的草案。 根据该法令草案，雇主将有权以低于国内最低工资标准10%的薪酬雇佣海外劳工。与此同时，该法令还允许降低技术移民语言测试标准。
　　
　　以下是《指定区域移民政策》（Designated Area Migration Agreements）具体条例：

　　1.允许雇主在不能雇用澳洲员工的指定地区雇用海外员工
　　2. 允许澳洲雇主可以以最高低于标准工资的10%的薪资来雇用海外员工（最低标准工资可以为$48,510)
　　3. 不能低于澳洲员工的工资
　　4. 要求雇主满足457担保要求，包括培训的要求
　　5. 允许雇主们寻求以较低的薪资和语言要求来雇用海外员工
　　6.允许雇主以一些全非是技能的职业雇用员工

　　消息原文如下：
 
Local migration agreements to provide economic boosts
Friday, 29 August 2014
 
The Department of Immigration and Border Protection has finalised guidelines for Designated Area Migration Agreements (DAMA) which will stimulate local economies providing more business and job opportunities for Australians in areas experiencing labour and skills shortages, Assistant Minister for Immigration and Border Protection Senator the Hon Michaelia Cash said today.
The DAMA proposal, commenced under the former Labor government as regional migration agreements, has been developed after extensive negotiations with state and territory governments and other stakeholders including labour unions.
It is important to be clear that these agreements require employers to pay workers at least the same wage as Australian workers.
Where employers within the agreement area are unable to recruit Australian workers, DAMAs can support them to supplement their workforce with skilled overseas workers.
If businesses cannot access labour then they cannot create more jobs for Australians. Targeted skilled migration under the DAMA guidelines will provide incentives to grow businesses and local economies for the benefit of Australians.
DAMAs are designed to ensure employers recruit Australians as a first priority and prioritise initiatives and strategies to facilitate the recruitment and retention of Australian workers.
Contrary to reports in this morning's Australian newspaper, no one employed under the DAMA guidelines will be paid less than the relevant award paid to an Australian worker.
The 457 minimum salary threshold (or TSMIT), which is $53 900, applies to workers under DAMAs. TSMIT is the entry level salary for the 457 program and is well above the award wage for Australians.
Under DAMAs an up to 10 per cent salary concession would only apply to the TSMIT – so the minimum wage could only be $48,510.
Even with a discount applied overseas workers will be paid well above the relevant award for the jobs they do.
All conditions including normal award provisions continue to apply.DAMAs do not permit overseas workers to undercut Australian workers: overseas workers must be provided with terms and conditions no less favourable than Australian employees
DAMAs do not allow entry of unqualified overseas workers: overseas workers must hold appropriate qualifications and experience, and meet any registration and licensing arrangements
DAMAs do not allow employers to substitute Australian workers with overseas workers: employers must show that they have sought to recruit Australian workers within the previous six months
DAMAs do not allow employers to avoid training Australians. Employers participating in a DAMA must meet subclass 457 sponsorship obligations, including training benchmarks
DAMAs do not allow employers to bring in unskilled overseas workers. Overseas workers must be skilled or semi-skilled.Any DAMA request must be endorsed by the relevant State or Territory government before the department would consider an application. Unions, business and community stakeholders must be consulted prior to requesting a DAMA.
The principles underpinning DAMAs include providing opportunities for Australians first, maintaining a fair work environment and comprehensive consultation.
A pilot agreement is being finalised with the Northern Territory Government to cover areas where it has been difficult to obtain Australian workers.
In line with the Coalition Government's approach to all skilled migration programmes, any DAMA will supplement rather than substitute Australian workers.
DAMAs will be very closely monitored to ensure that they do not adversely impact on the local workforce, which the government is committed to ensuring has absolute priority in the labour market,' Minister Cash said

　　下面的是从当地报纸找到的新闻分析，《澳洲人报》报道称，此前，部分地方政府以及商业团体为填补当地劳动力的巨大缺口，呼吁引入更为灵活的签证政策。为此，移民部助理部长卡什 （Michaelia Cash）于29日宣布引入《指定区域移民政策》（Designated Area Migration Agreements）。但卡什强调：“该政策对于劳动力市场来说是一种‘补充’而不是‘替代’。” 值得一提的是，如果企业能够证明在难以找到本土劳工的情况下，仍旧存在劳动力短缺的问题，那么，此前技术移民政策对海外劳工的技能资格证书要求也可有所让步。与此同时，为满足某些领域技术工人的紧缺问题，关于海外劳工的语言测试中的写作及口语测试将更加简单。
然而，政府新政策中允许雇主压低海外劳工工资的规定，引发了国内工会的强 烈不满。澳洲工会理事会（ACTU）主席科尔尼（Ged Kearney）表示：“新的规则将‘完全损害’本土劳工的利益。”电力贸易工会（Electrical Trade Union）全国主席希克斯（Allen Hicks）则表示：“我很担心更多的非技术工人涌入澳洲。”据了解，政府坚持拒绝非技术海外劳工来澳。根据澳洲与新西兰施行的标准职业分类(ANZSCO)列表，从经理到商人等众多行业，均分1~4级4个资格标准，技术移民必须满足职业资格所要求的等级才可获准移民。另据了解，在《指定区域移民政策》下的每个移民协议均需限制在指定的区域，且每份协议必须征得当地政府的同意。

　　数据显示，截至6月30日，澳洲有10.887万名持457签证的海外劳工，占全国劳动力总比不足1%。然而过去一年，海外劳工申请人数骤减四成。虽然，政府已经对于某些区域劳工短缺的问题推出应对新政策，但卡什指出：“技术劳工短缺的问题不能以“一刀切”的方式解决，我们必须意识到不同地区独特的需求，更为灵活地妥善处理。
