Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

The instrument requires migration-related fees paid in Australia or from overseas to be paid in Australian dollars and repeals the previous LIN 22/004. Effective 1 July 2023, it affects applicants, sponsors, agents, employers and payment processors (and the Department of Home Affairs), shifting conversion costs and reconciliation to payers while simplifying the Department’s single-currency receipts.
