Success in the Joinery and Construction Industry
30 April 2026
The Dream
A joinery and construction business in Melbourne was growing fast. With an annual turnover of over $2 million, they needed a professional to manage their contracts and projects. They found a skilled specialist and applied to nominate them for a Subclass 482 visa to help the business continue to succeed.
The Problem
The Department of Home Affairs refused the nomination. They were not convinced that the role of Contract Administrator was “genuine” for a business of this type. This decision put the company’s expansion plans at risk and left the worker’s future in Australia uncertain.
The Solution
The business took the case to the Administrative Review Tribunal. With professional help, they provided a mountain of evidence, including tax returns, detailed job descriptions, and samples of work contracts. They proved that their complex projects required a dedicated person to handle variations, project goals, and legal paperwork.
The Victory
The Tribunal set aside the refusal. It agreed that the position was genuine and necessary for the business’s operations. The nomination was remitted for reconsideration, allowing the business to keep its essential staff member and continue building its future in Australia.
