In a recent court case DPS
035/2005, the court found a notice given
to students to report to a particular DIMIA office and officer
was defective. The court found students should have been directed to
any DIMIA office or officer. Any cancellation of student visas where
this notice was used may be ineffective.
The judgment affects people who were
student visa holders between May 2001 and 16 August 2005.
Importantly, it only applies to those who failed to report to a
DIMIA office within 28 days of being sent a breach notice by their
education provider.
