This does not apply to first-time applicants—only those renewing existing registration.\n\n**What it requires:** These agents must complete **continuing professional development** (ongoing education and training) as a condition of maintaining their registration. This ensures agents keep their knowledge of migration law, procedures, and ethical obligations current.\n\n**Key change:** It revokes and replaces an earlier instrument (IMMI 13/089) from October 2013, streamlining the legal specification of who falls under these training requirements."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/migration-agents-regulations-1998-specification-of-class-of-persons-immi-13-153","history":"/api/acts/migration-agents-regulations-1998-specification-of-class-of-persons-immi-13-153/history","analysis":"/api/acts/migration-agents-regulations-1998-specification-of-class-of-persons-immi-13-153/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/migration-agents-regulations-1998-specification-of-class-of-persons-immi-13-153/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/migration-agents-regulations-1998-specification-of-class-of-persons-immi-13-153/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/migration-agents-regulations-1998-specification-of-class-of-persons-immi-13-153/documents"}}
