PROCESSING INFORMATION
Last updated 4 January 2011.
Please do not send enquiries or reply to this email address as this
mailbox is not monitored. Contact details for GSM are listed below.
Current Processing Dates
If your application date has recently come into our current processing
date range you should allow at least 6 weeks to enable a case officer to
complete the initial assessment. Please refrain from sending requests for
an update on the status of your application within this 6 week period.
Priority Processed Applications
Under the priority processing direction we are giving priority in
allocation to applications with a nominated occupation that appears in an
active State Migration Plan - Priority Group 2.
Priority Group 3 applications are allocated only where all Priority Group
2 have already been allocated. Priority Group 4 cases will be allocated
once all Priority Group 3 are allocated.
To determine which priority group your application falls into please read
the information on the department’s website at:
