A group of delegates from our firm, namely, James Jung, Tin-Lok Shea, John Kim, and MARTIN POLAINE, FCIArb FAIADR, recently attended the Inter-Pacific Bar Association (IPBA) Annual Conference in Chicago. The IPBA community has always been a collegiate and engaged group, and this year was no exception – the conference was a great opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces, exchange ideas, and build new connections across jurisdictions. The energy of the host city was on full display, from incisive keynote speeches and thoughtful panel discussions to a standout welcome reception at Wrigley Field, where the Cubs edged out the Dodgers (much to the disappointment of many Shohei Ohtani fans in attendance). We are proud to share that James Jung was announced as the Vice-President of the IPBA, with the 2027 conference planned to be hosted in Sydney (where he will officially become President). This is an enormous achievement culminating from years of dedication and contribution to the IPBA, and reflects James’ esteemed position within the IPBA community built upon the deep professional ties and friendships he has cultivated with colleagues from across the Asia-Pacific region. Tin-Lok Shea was also appointed as the IPBA Jurisdictional Council Member (JCM) for Australia, a senior leadership position representing the IPBA within the allocated jurisdiction. This is well deserved by Tin-Lok and his nomination was hugely supported by the IPBA Officers at the recent Council Meeting in Chicago. A huge congratulation to both James and Tin-Lok, who are looking forward to contributing to the IPBA’s mission of supporting legal development and collaboration of lawyers across the Asia-Pacific.

Australia continues to take further steps to safely reopen to the world, with additional changes to our international border arrangements coming into effect on 1 December. Consistent with the National Plan to safely reopen Australia, these changes will ensure we continue to protect the health of Australians, while reuniting families and securing our economic recovery by opening our border to skilled and student visa holders. From 1 December 2021, fully vaccinated eligible visa holders can come to Australia without needing to apply for a travel exemption. Eligible visa holders include skilled and student cohorts, as well as humanitarian, working holiday maker and provisional family visa holders. Under these arrangements, travellers must: Be fully vaccinated with a completed dosage of a vaccine approved or recognised by Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) Hold a valid visa for one of theeligible visa subclasses Provide proof of their vaccination status Present a negative COVID-19 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test taken within three days of departure. Travellers to Australia must comply with the quarantine requirements in the state or territory of their arrival, and any other state or territory to which they plan to travel. The return of skilled workers and international students to Australia will further cement our economic recovery, providing the valuable workers our economy needs and supporting our important education sector. From 1 December 2021, Australia will also welcome back fully vaccinated citizens from Japan and the Republic of Korea. Under these arrangements, citizens of Japan and the Republic of Korea who hold a valid Australian visa will be able to travel from their home country quarantine-free to participating states and territories, without needing to seek a travel exemption. Under these arrangements, travellers must: Depart from their home country Be fully vaccinated with a completed dosage of a vaccine approved or recognised by the TGA Hold a valid Australian visa Provide proof of their vaccination status Present a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken within three days of departure. Today’s announcement follows earlier changes which have seen us welcome home fully vaccinated Australians, permanent residents and their immediate family members since 1 November, and follows the commencement of the Singapore safe travel zone yesterday. These changes demonstrate the success of our National Plan, as the Government continues to get Australia back to normal and reopen to the world safely.

The Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs Alex Hawke MP has today announced the inclusion of a range of skilled occupations on the Priority Migration Skilled Occupation List (PMSOL). The PMSOL, first announced in September 2020, is developed in conjunction with the National Skills Commission to ensure a small number of critical occupations are filled to continue to create Australian jobs and aid in Australia's ongoing recovery from the impact of COVID-19. The addition of 22 occupations brings the PMSOL to 41 in total. Minister Hawke said the Government engaged with small, medium and large Australian employers, business leaders, and industry bodies across the economy to determine these changes. “Government has received valuable feedback from Australian business stakeholders on critical skill vacancies, which has been considered together with data from the National Skills Commission, in order to develop today's update to the Priority Migration Skilled Migration List," Minister Hawke said. “The Morrison Government will continue to support Australian businesses, including through skilled migration, as the engine room of our nation's economy." The 22 new occupations are (including ANZSCO codes): Accountant (General) (221111) Accountant (Taxation) (221113) Accountant (Management) (221112) External Auditor (221213) Internal Auditor (221214) Electrical Engineer (233311) Civil Engineer (233211) Structural Engineer (233214) Geotechnical Engineer (233212) Transport Engineer (233215) Mining Engineer (233611) Petroleum Engineer (233612) Surveyor (232212) Cartographer (232213) Other Spatial Scientist (232214) Medical Laboratory Scientist (234611) Orthotist / Prosthetist (251912) Multimedia Specialist (261211) Analyst Programmer (261311) Software and Applications Programmers (261399) ICT Security Specialist (262112) Chef (351311) Visa holders, who have been sponsored by an Australia business in a PMSOL occupation will be subject to quarantine arrangements at their own expense.Existing skilled migration occupation lists will remain active and visas will still be processed, but priority will be given to those in occupations on the PMSOL.
