This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This instrument updates the Australian government’s whitelist of travel agents authorised to organise package tours for PRC citizens applying for Australian tourist visas, replacing the 2007 list.
It affects Chinese tourists, and travel agents and tour operators in Australia and China—only tours organised by listed agents qualify for the streamlined group-tour visa arrangements.
