What you can do if your application is nearing allocationIf your application is in Priority Group 1 or 3; or was lodged within one month of the dates listed in the table above for Priority Groups 4 or 5: you can proceed with health and character clearances ahead of your application being allocated. Applicants should not proceed for applications where a ‘*’ or ‘**’ applies.
If you lodged your application online, any additional documentation must be attached online through the eVisa system. Guidance in attaching documents through the eVisa system is available on our website.
See: Attaching Documents to a General Skilled Migration Visa Application
If you lodged your application by paper, you can provide additional documentation by scanning and emailing the documents to the department.
Email: gsm.documents@immi.gov.au
When your application is allocated to a case officer, you will be notified and provided with an email address for all future correspondence. Your case officer can assist with further detail on how to obtain specific clearances, and confirm the validity of any previously obtained clearances.
The validity of your health and character clearances could be impacted by any changes to the allocation dates. You will be responsible for paying any fees and costs associated with obtaining any clearances you need.
Further information about character and health requirements is available.
