[Foss4g2009] Australian Visas [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Shoaib.Burq at ga.gov.au]

Thanks for that Nicole

I'll update the site and push my changes tonight

Having said that I think information about the on the website should be easy to understand and I would suggest making the following amendments to the document from TH:

At the beginning of the document there should be a summary that simply states:

        If you are from the following countries you need a 977 visa
        Otherwise you will need a 456 Business visa
        Table of countries

There will be a link to each category with more details on the steps needed to get the visa. If that's cool with everyone I'll make those changes and update the site tonight.
