Section 501 visa cancellation — Under section 501 of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) a non-citizen’s visa may be cancelled if they do not pass the character test. The character test is defined in the section 501(6) of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth). The most common cause of failure of the character test is having a substantial criminal record. Most non-citizens who fail the character test will do so as a result of having been sentenced to a term of imprisonment for 12 months or more. There can be multiple terms of imprisonment which together add up to 12 months or more. Self-Management and Recovery Training (SMART) — SMART Recovery is an evidence-based recovery method grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), that supports people with substance dependencies or problem behaviours to build and maintain motivation, cope with urges and cravings, manage thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and lead a balanced life. Status resolution — Status resolution officers manage people in detention or the community, including unlawful non-citizens and Bridging Visa E holders, to resolve their immigration status through grant of a substantive visa or departure from Australia. Status resolution officers can explain a person’s visa options and how decisions they make now can affect their options later on. They can also help plan their departure from Australia and refer people to other services where necessary. Unauthorised Maritime Arrival (UMA) — An UMA is a person who entered Australia by sea without authority and became an unlawful non-citizen upon entry. All babies born to UMA parents are also UMAs. Unlawful non-citizen — A non-citizen who is in Australia without a valid visa. An unlawful non-citizen must be detained under the Migration Act 1958 (Cth).
