Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This instrument imposes an annual cap of 320 Aged Parent (Residence) (Class BP) visas for the financial year 1 July 2004–30 June 2005. Once the quota is reached, no further visas of this type are granted until the next year.

It affects elderly parents seeking permanent entry and their Australian citizen or permanent-resident sponsors, and matters because the cap helps manage migration intake and long-term fiscal impacts like pensions and healthcare.
