Four-Year Review of Modern Awards The Fair Work Commission (FWC) is continuing the Four Year Review of Modern Awards (Review) process as required under the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009 (the Act).

2014/2015 Immigration Statistics In 2014/2015, LPA lodged 699 Entertainment Visa applications with DIBP on behalf of Members which resulted in 4502 visa approvals. Immigration: Entertainment (Subclass 420) Visa In December 2014, the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) released a Proposal Paper “Simplification of the skilled migration and temporary activity visa programmes” that proposed various changes to temporary work visas including merging the 420 visa with the 401 visa (sport/religious workers etc) to create a new “Community and Events Visa”. LPA submitted to this Review and took part in stakeholder consultation meetings at the start of 2015. In February 2015, DIBP and the Ministry for the Arts then released a discussion paper “Review of the Temporary Work (Entertainment) Visa (Subclass 420)”. This Review provided a range of options for reforming the 420 visas specifically. LPA also submitted to this Review and has since met with the Review teams in both of the relevant Departments and we have written to Ministers with our concerns about some of the proposed changes. LPA lodges over 20% of all 420 visa applications to DIBP and will therefore continue to advocate strongly on behalf of Members in both Reviews. 12 Live Performance Australia Annual Report 2014/15 Live Performance Australia Annual Report 2014/15 13
