Important information for certain Priority Group 3 applicants who received a letterfrom DIAC in March 2011 advising that their application is expected to be allocated within three months
We have recently sent email letters to certain Priority Group 3 applicants who have
lodged a General Skilled Migration (GSM) application under subclasses 175, 176, 475,
885, 886 and 487.
As indicated above, these emails were sent only to applicants whose applications:
a) are expected to be allocated to a case officer within three months of the date
of these letters; and
b) can proceed with health and character requirements without firstly being
assessed by a case officer.
If you have received this letter and have queries about these instructions, the following Questions and Answers may be of interest.
Similarly, if you have not received this letter and your application is in Priority Group 3,these Questions and Answers will explain why and when you may expect to be contacted about your application.
General Questions about these letters
Q1: Who has this letter been sent to?
This letter has been sent to a selection of eVisa Priority 3 applicants whose application
is expected to be allocated a case officer for assessment within three months of the
date of this letter. The applications within this group are ones which can proceed with
health and character requirements without the application first being assessed by a
case officer.
If you have not received this letter it is because your application is one which is unable
to proceed without first being assessed by a case officer, or it is one which is not
expected to be assessed in coming months. The timeframe for allocation of your case
to a case officer will not be affected by this. Applications will continue to be allocated
for assessment in accordance with the priority processing arrangements and within
date of lodgement order.
Information on current allocation dates can be obtained by sending a blank email to
gsm.processing@immi.gov.au.

Q2: What are the specific requirements of this letter?
If you have received a letter addressed to you which confirms that your application is
in Priority Group 3 and is expected to be allocated to a case officer for assessment
within three months of the date of that letter, you and any family members included in
your application should now follow the instructions of that letter.
That is, all family members included in your application should now:
1. Undertake your health and character clearances if you have not already done so.
2. Complete Form 80: Personal particulars for character assessment
3. Update the Department on any change to your circumstances since lodgement of
your application (if any).
4. Provide any documents relevant to your application that you have not already
provided.
Q3: Should I proceed with these clearances now?
Yes, if you have received this letter. This is because the department expects to be able
to be able to allocate your application to a case officer for assessment within three
months of the date of this letter.
By initiating these health and character clearances now and providing Form 80 and
any other documents relevant to your application, you are likely to enable your
application to be assessed in a quicker timeframe once it is allocated to a case officer.
It is also possible that a decision may be able to be made when your application is first
assessed without the need for your case officer to contact you about any outstanding
requirements.
Q4: Who should undertake these clearances?
This letter refers to yourself and all members of your family unit listed in your
application, irrespective of whether or not they are migrating with you. Members of
your family unit include the following persons (as applicable):
• a spouse,
• dependent children,
• children born after your application was lodged, and
• a dependent widowed parent.
If you have received this letter, all members of your family unit included in your
application should now attend to the requirements listed.

Q5. I have received both a Personalised Letter (emailed on either 18th or 21st March 2011)
advising me to undertake health and character clearances, and accessed the Invitation
to undertake Health and Character attached to the auto-reply at
gsm.processing@immi.gov.au – which one should I follow?
If you have received a letter personally addressed to you which confirms that your
application is in Priority Group 3 and is expected to be allocated to a case officer for
assessment within three months of the date of that letter, you and any family members
included in your application should now follow the instructions of that letter as listed
as Q2.
eVisa application and access
Q6: I have forgotten my eVisa password and can not attach documents to the webbrowser,
what should I do?
If you have forgotten your eVisa password and are unable to attach information
requested in this letter to your eVisa application via the web-browser
(http://www.immi.gov.au/e_visa/ge ... ion-attachments.htm) you will
need to forward any clearances, forms or requested documentation by email to
gsm.documents@immi.gov.au. When doing so please ensure that you include your
Client File Number and the Letter Reference Number.
Health clearance results will be sent to the department by the clinic you visit.
Please note that eVisa passwords are unable to be re-set.
Q7: I can’t get into my eVisa application to download the medical forms, what should I
do?
To log into your eVisa application you will need to enter the Transaction Reference
Number (TRN) listed at the top of the letter, your name, date of birth and passport
number.
If some any reason you are unable to download these forms, you will need to wait
until your application has been allocated to a case officer for assessment (within three
months of the date of this letter) before attending to this requirement. A case officer
will assist you at this point in time. You may however, proceed with other
requirements of this letter.

Health and Character clearances
Q8: How should I apply for my health and character clearances?
Health Clearances:
Background information on the health requirement and health clearance process is
available at: http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/health-requirements/.
To obtain the forms required for a health examination, you will need to visit
https://www.ecom.immi.gov.au/inquiry/query/query.do?action=eVisa. From here you
will need to log into your eVisa application. The Health forms (160EH and 26EH) are
available to be downloaded from the Document Checklist link.
Character Clearances:
Background information on the character requirement and instructions on how to
initiate a character clearance is available at:
http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/character-requirements/
For the Australian Government to determine whether you are of good character, police
certificates are required for each country you have lived in for 12 months or more over
the last ten (10) years since turning 16 years of age. This includes Australia if you
have resided in Australia for 12 months or more during this period.
Each applicant included in the application aged 16 years or over will need to initiate
these clearances irrespective of whether they are migrating with you.
Q9: I am unable to obtain the results of my health clearance from the doctor, what should I
do?
If you have undertaken a health examination with an approved panel doctor (outside
of Australia) or Medibank Health Solutions (in Australia), there is nothing further you
need to do in relation to obtaining a health clearance.
The results of your examination will be forwarded by the doctor to the department.
You will be contacted if there are any further requirements once your case has been
allocated to a case officer for assessment. As mentioned in this letter allocation of
your case is likely to occur within three months of the date of this letter.
Q10. I require a letter from DIAC listing all applicant names to obtain character
clearances, how should I proceed?
The department is aware that in some countries such a letter from the department is
required before an applicant can undertake character clearances. If this is the case for
you or any members of your family unit, please note that this letter may be used for
this purpose.
You may also use the Acknowledgement Letter sent to you when your application was
lodged. You should present a copy of this Acknowledgement Letter and the letter
provided by email in March when applying for a character clearance.
- 5 -
Alternatively, specific information as required for a clearance can be provided to you
when your application has been allocated to a case officer for assessment.
Q11: I am not sure if one of my clearances is still valid?
If you have any queries about these instructions or the validity of a clearance you have
already obtained, you will need to wait until you have been allocated a case officer
and raise these queries at that time. This is because a case officer will need to assess
your application in its entirety before determining whether any new clearances will be
required.
As mentioned in this letter, the department expects to allocate your application to a
case officer within three months from the date of this letter. Hence, the validity of a
particular clearance already obtained will be clarified within a relatively short
timeframe.
Form 80
Q12. Form 80: Should I download this form from my eVisa application or the DIAC
website?
A new Form 80: Personal particulars for character assessment should be completed
for all applicants including dependents aged 16 years or over irrespective of whether
they are migrating or not, and irrespective of whether this form(s) was provided when
lodging your application. This up-to-date information will assist with the processing of
an application once it is allocated.
Form 80 should be downloaded from department’s website at:
http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/80.pdf and not via your eVisa application.
This form can be electronically completed and submitted to the department. Once
complete you can attach this form online or email it to gsm.documents@immi.gov.au.
If emailing to the department please ensure that you include your Client File Number
and the Letter Reference Number within the subject line of the email.
Providing clearances, forms or relevant documentation to the Department
Q13: How should I provide the documentation requested in this letter?
eVisa applicants should attach any clearances, forms or relevant documentation to the
web-browser. For information on how to attach documents to the web-browser see:
http://www.immi.gov.au/e_visa/ge ... on-attachments.htm.
If you are unable to attach documents to the web-browser, or you do not have your
current eVisa password, these documents should be emailed to
gsm.documents@immi.gov.au. Please ensure that you include your Client File
Number and the Letter Reference Number within the subject line of the email.
As mentioned above, health clearance results will be sent to the department by the
clinic you visit.

What next?
Q14: I have now provided all of my clearances, a new Form 80 and updated any changes in
circumstances (as requested in this letter), when will my application be allocated to a
case officer?
If you have received this letter it is because the department expects to be able to
allocate your application for assessment by a case officer within three months of the
date of this letter. Applications will continue to be allocated in accordance with the
priority processing arrangements as specified at
http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/g ... priorityprocessing-
arrangements.htm and after that, in date of lodgement order.
Please note that this three month timeframe relates only to the initial assessment of
your application. The length of time taken to process an application will be determined
by any other outstanding requirements and your action to any request.
You may wish to obtain an update on which GSM applications are currently being
allocated to case officers for assessment. To do so, please send a blank email to
gsm.processing@immi.gov.au. This auto-response is updated fortnightly and will
provide you with an indication of when your application is nearing allocation. Once
your application is allocated to a case officer, we request you allow a further six weeks
for your application to be assessed.
Q15. Is there anything else I can do?
If you have received this letter and all members of your family unit included in your
application have completed all of the requirements specified, there is nothing further
you need to do until you are contacted by a case officer. At this point in time your case
officer will advise you of any further requirements, or a decision, once they have
assessed your application.
Further questions
Q16. I have further questions about these instructions, what can I do?
If you have any queries about these instructions, you will need to wait until you have
been allocated a case officer and raise these at that time. This is because a case officer
will need to assess your application in its entirety and this can only be done once the
application has been allocated.
You may choose not to proceed with the requirements specified in this letter as this is
not a formal request under the Migration Act. Please note that by not proceeding with
these requirements the allocation of your application to a case officer will not be
delayed but the time taken to finalise your application once it has been assessed by a
case officer may be longer. Applications will continue to be allocated in accordance
with the priority processing arrangements as specified at
http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/g ... priorityprocessing-
arrangements.htm and after that, in date of lodgement order.
You may however, proceed with any elements of this letter for which you do not have
questions. By doing this you may still allow your application to be processed in a
quicker timeframe once allocated to a case officer for assessment.

Advice to applicants who have not received a letter
Q17: When will other Priority Group 3 or 4 applicants be contacted?
Applications are being allocated to a case officer for assessment in accordance with
the priority processing arrangements set by the Minister for GSM applications.
Under these arrangements the highest GSM priority is given to Priority Group 2 -
applications from people who are nominated by a state or territory government agency
with a nominated occupation that is specified on that state or territory’s state migration
plan.
Processing of Priority Group 2 applications is such they are now being allocated to a
case officer to be assessed within a fortnight of receipt of their State/ Territory
nomination form (Form 1100).
Subsequently, processing has recommenced on Priority Group 3 applications in date
of lodgement order within this priority grouping.
Information on current processing dates for GSM applications can be obtained by
sending a blank email to gsm.processing@immi.gov.au. You may wish to email this
address periodically to determine whether the department is close to allocating
applications commenced on the date of lodgement of your application.
Further emails are expected to be sent to other Priority Group 3 and 4 applicants in
coming months to advise of other applications nearing allocation to a case officer, and
with updates on GSM application processing.
