My visa was granted before 14 September 2009. If I change sponsors, is my new sponsor liable for certain health costs?
Yes. As your visa was granted prior to 14 September 2009, the liability for certain health costs transfers to your new sponsor. Sponsors who fail to meet the relevant costs may be subject to administrative sanctions, such as being barred from using the program for a period or having their sponsorship cancelled.
