About this copy
Original factual summaries describing what each official form is for and who lodges it. No form fields, layout or text are reproduced; the official PDF remains the only form.
Platform-authored navigation; no lawyer or registered migration agent reviewed this catalogue. It does not assess eligibility, points or suitability for any person.
Purpose
Records a formal nomination of a Business Skills visa applicant by a state or territory government agency (or, for certain investor streams, by Austrade on behalf of the Australian Government). It supports applications for the Business Innovation and Investment (Provisional) subclass 188 and (Permanent) subclass 888 programs.
Who lodges it
The visa applicant completes their own general details, but the nominating body — a state/territory business development agency or Austrade — completes, signs and stamps the nomination portion. It is lodged together with the applicant's visa application.
When it is used
Used when a Business Skills visa subclass requires a state, territory or Austrade nomination — for example when extending a provisional visa or applying for the permanent stage — and the nomination is not otherwise recorded through SkillSelect.
