Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This instrument approves the Australian Values Statement that most visa applicants must sign as a legal requirement under Public Interest Criterion 4019, replacing the 2007 approval.

It authorises two tailored statements (one for permanent/skilled migration and one for temporary visas) so applicants formally confirm understanding of and commitment to Australian democratic values, rights and laws — a prerequisite for visa processing and grant.
