Legislation library.
The legislative instruments that actually decide these applications, linked straight to the Federal Register of Legislation. No summaries, no paraphrase – the source.
Read this before you rely on any of it. This information is provided for general guidance only. Legislative instruments are amended and replaced frequently, and the version that applies to your application is usually the one in force at a particular date – not necessarily the current one. You are strongly advised to get advice from a registered migration agent or a lawyer to confirm which version of the relevant legislation or policy applies to your circumstances.
