Please help us keep Moanie in Australia

You are all aware that my daughter Moanie has been in Australia since 2019 and has completed her Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care. She has been working in a permanent position at a childcare centre for just over a year now. She is a much loved and appreciated member of staff and thoroughly enjoys her days there.

We recently submitted a visa application that would allow her to stay and work in Australia. Unfortunately, we made an error and ticked one wrong box. This mistake resulted in her visa being refused.

The implications are life-changing.

Basically:

She can appeal (must be submitted by 10th February) OR she needs to leave the country by 18th February.

Once the appeal is lodged with Administrative Appeals Tribunal, a bridging visa will be issued by the Department of Immigration, which will allow her to stay until a decision is made on the appeal. I tried to link the Department of Immigration decision document and AAT page but was unable, so have posted poor-quality pics taken on my phone.

Now, this is where you all come in - We need to pay $3,153.00 when we lodge the appeal. Unsurprisingly, we do not have that amount of money available and are asking again for your kindness and generosity.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Dee and Moanie
