Paragraph 187.234(b) provides that at the time of application for a Subclass 187 visa, if an applicant’s occupation is specified by the Minister in an instrument in writing for this paragraph and the applicant did not obtain the necessary qualification in Australia, that the applicant’s skills have been assessed as suitable for the occupation by an assessing authority specified by the Minister in the same instrument in writing as the assessing authority for the occupation.

The purpose of the Instrument is to make some minor technical changes to the assessing authorities relevant to applications for a Subclass 187 visa at the time of application as provided at Paragraph 187.234(b).
