Hard working family’s fight against deportation

We are the Plumridge family...Steve, Amanda (Mandy), Megan & Rosie
We have a franchise business in Perth which has been a huge success! It has won awards! We have actively been involved in the community and have created business opportunities for Australian citizens!
We provide therapeutic drama classes for children. We are inclusive of all children working closely with disadvantaged families and individuals with learning difficulties.

My husband Steve works for the WA autism association with vulnerable adults. Megan is 18 years old and has her cert 3 in childcare. She has also past her driving test. While Rosie is a role model student at Belridge senior school.

However, we have been victims of legislation changes and delayed processing times!
In the 4 years that we have lived here we have been fighting a constant stressful battle which has had a detrimental affect our our well-beings.
Here are the changes in goal posts in regards to migration, which have affected our lives here...
*Abolishing the self sponsored 457 visa
*Perth no longer being classified as regional
*Drama teacher has been taken off most occupation lists
*Age limited reduce to 45 years old

In a nutshell, we are being chastised for our first year of trading because a migration officer speculated that the company couldn’t sustain employment over a 2 year period.
We have been fighting this ever since costing us and our company thousands and thousands of dollars in legal fees over the past 3 years!

We have done nothing but contribute to the economy, paying our taxes and liabilities. Also our drama program is of exceptional value!

We are reaching out to anyone that can help or support us! We are currently going for ministerial intervention so he can look at our case without all of this red tape

We have had a lot of support from the local businesses that we work in partnership with, we appreciate this truly!

We have been given a bridging visa with no work rights! This is because the submission was compiled over the Christmas period and delayed by one day.

We haven’t been able to work since Christmas and now living on friends and the community to support us as we are financially exhausted. 

We are now powerless and need to reach out to the Honourable David Coleman to use his Ministerial intervention and make our family smile again! 

We only need financial help to help us get through Ministerial intervention for living costs and if we were not successful (which we pray won’t happen) fights. We can’t do this without support and may have to leave before our case gets looked at. We believe in the system and hope that justice prevails.

All additional funds, we will be donating to the Starlight Children’s Foundation. This is a charity that our business has supported before.

Perth is our home and our family are here! 

We are very humble and very embarrassed to be in this situation but we can’t give up now!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts
