403.2—Primary criteria
Note: The primary criteria for the grant of a Subclass 403 visa include criteria set out in streams.

The criteria in Subdivisions 403.22 to 403.25 and 403.29 will be used in turn as primary criteria for the grant of the visa as the application is assessed.
 The primary criteria must be satisfied by at least one member of a family unit.
 The other members of the family unit who are applicants for a visa of this subclass need satisfy only the secondary criteria.
 All criteria must be satisfied at the time a decision is made on the application.
