Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This document approves a specific customs form for people arriving in Australia who speak Malay (Bahasa Melayu). It gives the official green light to use Form No. 15 MLY (dated March 2005) as the Malay-language version of the "Incoming Passenger Card."

Who it affects: Passengers arriving in Australia by ship or aircraft who speak Malay and need to declare their personal belongings or household items (like clothes, electronics, or furniture they're bringing with them).

Why it matters: When you arrive in Australia, you must fill out a card declaring what you're bringing into the country. This ensures Malay-speaking travelers have an official form they can understand, rather than struggling with an English-only document. It also replaces an older version of the Malay form from 2003, ensuring the paperwork is up to date.

In short: It's a technical update to the multilingual paperwork used at Australian borders.
