The government may need time to set up computer systems, train staff, or write application forms. This document is the official “start button” — signed by the Administrator (acting for the Governor-General) — that tells everyone the new Contributory Parents Migration Scheme rules are now live.\n\n**Who it affects:**\nPrimarily Australian citizens and permanent residents who want to bring their parents to live in Australia. The “contributory” scheme allows faster visa processing in exchange for significantly higher visa application charges compared to the standard parent visa stream."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-contributory-parents-migration-scheme-act-2003-proclamation-12-06-20","history":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-contributory-parents-migration-scheme-act-2003-proclamation-12-06-20/history","analysis":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-contributory-parents-migration-scheme-act-2003-proclamation-12-06-20/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-contributory-parents-migration-scheme-act-2003-proclamation-12-06-20/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-contributory-parents-migration-scheme-act-2003-proclamation-12-06-20/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-contributory-parents-migration-scheme-act-2003-proclamation-12-06-20/documents"}}
