Since 2015, the Department has undergone a number of significant changes and improvements to help increase consistency in decision making and ensure that visit visa decision notices are balanced and fair.The Department has:o Moved to thematic visa decision making centres, focussed on specific routes so decision makers are not making decisions on multiple routes during a working day and can build up expertise.o Brought in modular training by immigration route which all decision makers must undertake.o Refreshed its risk strategy which focusses on the individual attributes of the customer and ensures that they are at the heart of everything it does.o Increased the use of technology to help drive consistency and feedback through more detailed data.The Department continues to review existing processes and develop new approaches in line with best practice and welcomes reviews of its processes and procedures from independent agencies and external bodies.
