The work permit section of my Department took a decision to refuse this application on the basis that it fell outside the scope of the spousal work permit scheme. The scheme only covers persons working here on working visas-work authorisations, certain intra company transferees and certain academics, researchers on work permits and certain registered medical professionals on work permits. The employer has been informed of this in writing and also notified of the right to appeal. To date no such appeal has been received.
