Visa cancellation under section 501(2) of the Migration Act 1958:

If you fail the character test, your visa is liable to cancellation under section 501(2) of the Migration Act. This provision is not used as often as it used to be due to the advent of mandatory cancellation under section 501(3A) of the Migration Act. However, we have noticed that the Department have been reviewing the cases of long term permanent residents with criminal histories with a view to cancelling their visas.

Extraordinary Driver’s Licence Applications:

One of the most common enquiries I have had from prospective clients is about whether they can get an extraordinary driver’s licence. The ability to apply for and obtain an extraordinary driver’s licence is reserved for those people who would be disproportionately penalised by the loss of their licence. For instance, if your job depends on your ability to drive you will normally be eligible for an extraordinary driver’s licence.
