Checks will be undertaken on claims and supporting documentation provided in support of your EOI.
If you provide fraudulent, false or misleading information in support of your EOI (or visa application), this will be treated as a serious matter and may face penalties under the Migration Act 1958.
The provision of fraudulent, false or misleading information will have an adverse impact on your Global Talent EOI or your visa application and your EOI or your visa application may be refused, and a bar placed on you, preventing you from lodging future visa applications for 3-10 years. If you have already been granted the visa and information is obtained regarding the provision of fraudulent information, your visa may be cancelled.

In some circumstances, family members who are not coming to Australia with the applicants might also need to undertake health examinations.
Global Talent pathway applicants should try to undertake health examinations within 14 days of lodging an application.

If you were unable to provide your police clearances at time of visa application, you will be requested to provide them. Some countries require a request letter from us to present to the relevant authority when you apply for your police clearance.
The Department is aware of the disruptions to police check issuing authorities due to COVID-19. The visa processing area will take the extended timeframes and disruptions into account when considering your visa application.
