Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this does: This instrument imposes a training requirement on migration agents who want to renew their professional registration.

Who it affects: Migration agents applying to re-register with the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (OMARA). This does not apply to first-time applicants—only those renewing existing registration.

What it requires: These agents must complete continuing professional development (ongoing education and training) as a condition of maintaining their registration. This ensures agents keep their knowledge of migration law, procedures, and ethical obligations current.

Key change: It revokes and replaces an earlier instrument (IMMI 13/089) from October 2013, streamlining the legal specification of who falls under these training requirements.
