Editorial standards

Sources

Visa pages are written from the Department of Home Affairs page for each visa, and link to it.
Reference lists (occupations, forms, assessing authorities, state lists, legislation and CRICOS) are copies of official lists, each with its source and the date it was checked.
Processing times and visa charges are the figures Home Affairs publishes, with the date of the copy.

Dates and reviews

Each page says when its information was checked. A checked date records a review at that time; it does not promise that the source has stayed the same.

Copies of reference lists held on the site are due to be checked again 90 days after they were captured. A page whose copy is older than that says so, and the official list is always one click away.

Published source updates keep their history: when an update is corrected or withdrawn, its page shows what changed and when.

YourVisaSite Editorial

Our curated questions and factual summaries include AI-assisted research checked against named official sources. Platform-operated starter identities are marked; they are not real applicants and do not contribute to member engagement figures.

No lawyer or registered migration agent has reviewed editorial answers unless an actual review is expressly identified.

Member and practitioner contributions

Members share their own experiences. A registered practitioner label identifies a checked professional account; it does not turn a public discussion into advice about your circumstances.

Official rules, personal experiences and publication dates are different kinds of information.
