visa applications. This form is available from the Department’s
website www.homeaffairs.gov.au
You may also be eligible to apply electronically over the internet.
To check your eligibility, refer to the Department’s website
https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-
listing#content-index-5
Residential address
You must provide the address of where you intend to live while
your application is being dealt with. Failure to give a residential
address will result in your application being invalid. A post office
box address will not be accepted as your residential address.
Circumstances under which you may be eligible for a
class of bridging visa using this form to:
(1) Replace a ceased bridging visa
You may be eligible for replacement of a bridging visa which has
ceased if:
• the bridging visa ceased because you departed Australia, and
your application for a substantive visa has not been finally
determined; or
• your application for review of a decision to cancel a
substantive visa has been successful.
(2) Change bridging visa conditions
You can apply for a bridging visa with change of conditions if you
hold a Bridging visa A, B, C or E.
Generally, if you are seeking another bridging visa without work
restrictions, you need to demonstrate a compelling need to
work, either because of financial hardship, or because you have
been sponsored or nominated for employment in an ‘approved
appointment’ associated with an outstanding substantive visa
application for a Temporary Work (Skilled) (class UC)
(subclass 457) visa.
However, you will not be eligible for permission to work if you
hold a Bridging visa E because you are seeking judicial review or
Ministerial intervention, except in limited circumstances.
From 1 July 2009, if you apply for a Protection visa and hold a
Bridging visa C or E with work restrictions, you may be eligible
for another bridging visa with permission to work. You can apply
for another bridging visa with permission to work by completing
form 1005 Application for a bridging visa.
To be eligible:
• Bridging visa C holders need to demonstrate a ‘compelling
need to work’, that is, show that you are in financial hardship.
• Bridging visa E holders need to demonstrate a ‘compelling
need to work’, as well as satisfy the Department you have an
‘acceptable reason for your delay’, in making a Protection visa
application, that is, reasons why you:
(a) did not apply for a Protection visa after your arrival in
Australia while you held a substantive visa; and
(b) why you have now applied for a Protection visa after you
became unlawful.
If you hold a Bridging visa A, B, C or E and are seeking judicial
review of a refusal decision on your Protection visa application,
you will only be permitted to work if you had permission to work
on the last bridging visa you held and you applied for judicial
review within the statutory time limits.
If you hold a Bridging visa E and have made an initial ministerial
intervention request from 1 July 2009, you will only be
permitted to work if you had permission to work on the last
bridging visa held, and at the time of making the ministerial
intervention request, you had remained lawful since your last
substantive visa application was finally determined.
If you are the holder of a Bridging visa E and are seeking to
change the condition(s) of the visa, you must demonstrate that
you will abide by the conditions sought; and if applicable, you
will provide reasons:
• for changing arrangements to depart; or
• to make a visa application; or
• for changing the period in which a valid travel document must
be obtained and presented to the Department to make a visa
application.
(3) Await the outcome of judicial review
You should provide evidence that an application for judicial
review has been made by attaching a copy of the relevant
application for review or notice of appeal which shows the court
registration number and endorsement by the Registrar of the
Federal Court.
Note: If you hold a Bridging visa A or B and need to travel
overseas because you have substantial reasons to leave
Australia while you are awaiting the outcome of your visa
application or judicial review application, you will need
to use form 1006 Application for a Bridging visa B.

Immigration assistance
A person gives immigration assistance to you if he or she uses, or
claims to use, his or her knowledge or experience in migration
procedure to assist you with your visa application, request for
ministerial intervention, cancellation review application,
sponsorship or nomination.
In Australia a person may only lawfully give immigration
assistance if he or she is a registered migration agent or is exempt
from being registered. Only registered migration agents may
receive a fee or reward for providing immigration assistance.
If an unregistered person in Australia, who is not exempt from
registration, gives you immigration assistance they are
committing a criminal offence and may be prosecuted.
Migration agents in Australia
Migration agents in Australia must be registered with the Office
of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (Office of the
MARA) unless they are exempt from registration.
Migration agents outside Australia
Migration agents who operate outside Australia do not have to be
registered. The Department may give some overseas agents an
ID number. This number does not mean that they are registered.
Note: Some Australian registered migration agents operate
overseas.
Migration agent information
A migration agent is someone who can:
• advise you on the visa that may best suit you;
• tell you the documents you need to submit with your
application;
• help you fill in the application and submit it; and
• communicate with the Department on your behalf.
If you appoint a migration agent, the Department will assume
that your migration agent will be your authorised recipient,
unless you indicate otherwise.
Your migration agent will be the person with whom the
Department will discuss your application and from whom it will
seek further information when required.
You are not required to use a migration agent. However, if you
use a migration agent, the Department encourages you to use a
registered migration agent. Registered agents are bound by the
Migration Agents Code of Conduct, which requires them to act
professionally in their clients’ lawful best interests.
Information on migration agents, including a list of registered
migration agents, is available on the Office of the MARA website
www.mara.gov.au
You can also access information about migration agents on the
Department’s website www.homeaffairs.gov.au
Exempt persons
The following people do not have to be a registered migration
agent in order to provide immigration assistance, but they must
not charge a fee for their service:
• a close family member (spouse, de facto partner, child, parent,
brother or sister);
• a member of parliament or their staff;
• an official whose duties include providing immigration
assistance (eg. a Legal Aid provider);
• a member of a diplomatic mission, consular post or
international organisation.
Appointing a migration agent/exempt person
To appoint a migration agent/exempt person you should
complete Part H – Options for receiving written
communications.
Your migration agent/exempt person should complete form 956
Advice by a registered migration agent/exempt person of
providing immigration assistance.
Form 956 is available from the Department’s website
www.homeaffairs.gov.au/allforms/
Options for receiving written communications
If you do not appoint a migration agent/exempt person you may
still authorise another person, in writing, to receive written
communications on your behalf. This person is called the
authorised recipient.
Authorised recipient information
All written communication about your application will be sent to
your authorised recipient, unless you indicate that you wish to
have health and/or character information sent directly to you.
The Department will communicate with the most recently
appointed authorised recipient as you may only appoint one
authorised recipient at any time for a particular application.
You will be taken to have received any documents sent to that
person as if they had been sent to you.
To appoint an authorised recipient you should complete:
• Part H – Options for receiving written communications; and
• Form 956A Appointment or withdrawal of an authorised
recipient.
Note: Migration agents/exempt persons do not need to complete
form 956A.
Form 956A is available from the Department’s website
www.homeaffairs.gov.au/allforms/

Consent to communicate electronically
The Department may use a range of means to communicate with
you. However, electronic means such as fax or email will only be
used if you indicate your agreement to receiving communication
in this way.
To process your application the Department may need to
communicate with you about sensitive information, for example,
health, police checks, financial viability and personal
relationships. Electronic communications, unless adequately
encrypted, are not secure and may be viewed by others or
interfered with.
If you agree to the Department communicating with you by
electronic means, the details you provide will only be used by the
Department for the purpose for which you have provided them,
unless there is a legal obligation or necessity to use them for
another purpose, or you have consented to use for another
purpose. They will not be added to any mailing list.
The Australian Government accepts no responsibility for the
security or integrity of any information sent to the Department
over the internet or by other electronic means.
If you authorise another person to receive documents on your
behalf and they wish to be contacted electronically, their
signature is required on form 956 or 956A to indicate their
consent to this form of communication.
Note: Electronic communication is the fastest means of
communication available and the Department prefers to
communicate electronically because this results in faster
processing.
