MAGDALENA IS LEAVING

Earlier this year The Body Refinery agreed to sponsor Magdalena on a 457 working visa. As the first of a number of strict requirements, successful application requires that the candidate be employed on a permanent full time basis. Unfortunately, Magdalena was employed on a casual basis for notably fewer hours than those required to meet the visa conditions, and the studio is not currently in a position to increase the number of hours worked by instructors. Due to this, and other incomplete criteria, it was not viable to continue the sponsorship process. This was not our preferred outcome and was a difficult decision to make, however, after further investigation it was apparent that no lawful or economically-viable avenues remained available to us. Magdalena has been a wonderful team member and a great instructor with a loyal following, who will be missed by all, and we wish her all the best for her future career endeavours.
