Conditions on a Temporary Activity subclass 408 visa

[PaulRobbo]

Can anyone help clarify what this condition means?

• Visa: Temporary Activity (subclass 408)
• Activity: Australian Government Endorsed Events

Covid-19 Pandemic Event was recently added as a 'Government Endorsed Event'

Visa Conditions

• Visa Condition 8107 - Work limitation

"Work limitation (visa condition 8107)

This condition means that if you have been granted work rights in Australia, but these work rights are subject to limitations.  Your condition allows you to be employed by a particular employer or undertake specific activities in Australia.

If you are working for a particular employer you must:

• continue to be employed by that employer
• not work for any other employer
• not be self-employed
• not undertake any work that is inconsistent with the purpose of the visa

If you are allowed to undertake specific activities in Australia activities other than employment you must:

• continue to undertake those activities
• not undertake any activities that are inconsistent with the purpose of the visa
• not be self-employed
• not undertake work for any person that is inconsistent with the purpose of the visa.

"

As the Activity was 'Covid-19 Pandemic Event', does that mean the applicant is tied to the their current employer or can move jobs?

 

Thanks in advance as always

I can't see any conditions that would prevent them moving jobs.

If the visa was issued for a particular activity and not for a particular employer, then you are tied to that activity not to a particular employer. Consequently, you can work for any employer, provided (as per your post) that you:

• continue to undertake those activities
• not undertake any activities that are inconsistent with the purpose of the visa
• not be self-employed
• not undertake work for any person that is inconsistent with the purpose of the visa.
