Why Subclass 400 applications get refused

Subclass 400 applications are most often refused because the work is not accepted as genuinely specialised, because the role does not read as genuinely short-term, or because the evidence does not support what the application claims. Since September 2024 the Department has scrutinised cumulative stay and repeat applications more closely. Resource Visa prepares 400 applications for Australian employers and assesses whether a case will stand before it is lodged.
