Withdrawal of deferred entry applications

We will be extending the change to our business process to support applicants with a live deferred application in completely withdrawing it without permission from the provider involved so they can re-apply for the same year of entry.

Posted Wed 6 September 2023

This will be in place from 5 September 2023 to 31 January 2024. As a provider impacted by this process, you will be notified of any related complete withdrawals through the link services, as per standard practice.

From 1 February 2024, we will revert to the usual process which means applicants in this position will need to contact the deferred entry provider to agree to a complete withdrawal before the new application can be processed. The revised process will be repeated for future cycles – running from the date applications are processed to the January equal consideration deadline, along with a small period of time around the 30 June and October deadlines.

If you have any questions or concerns related to this, please contact the Customer Success Team.
