How This Business Overturned a Refusal

The Dream

Managing a visa nomination appeal in Australia is a challenge many growing businesses face. A Brisbane-based building firm found the perfect Contract Administrator but faced a major setback when the government questioned the “genuine need” for the role. Their goal was simple: keep their talented team and finish embassy-level construction projects.

The Problem: The “Genuine Need” Refusal

The Department of Home Affairs refused the nomination under Regulation 2.72(10). They claimed the business didn’t show enough financial activity to support the role. This put the company’s growth and major contracts at risk.

The Solution: Winning the Visa Nomination Appeal in Australia

The business challenged the decision at the ART. We gathered specific evidence to prove the role was essential:

Financial Proof: We provided Business Activity Statements (BAS) and tax records to show the business was active, profitable, and capable of paying the market salary.

Project Contracts: We linked the Contract Administrator role directly to specific design-and-construct contracts that required professional oversight.

Legal Strategy: We satisfied the Tribunal that the business was lawful and had a long-term need for the worker to help complete its commercial goals.

The Victory

In February 2026, the Tribunal “set aside” the refusal. The nomination is now approved, and the business is back to building instead of fighting legal battles.

Their Words

“The Tribunal is satisfied that the position is genuine… and the applicant has the financial capacity to meet its goals.”

If your business is struggling with a visa nomination or an “RFI” (Request for Information) that seems impossible to answer, you don’t have to give up. We help businesses prove their case and protect their team.
