Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This instrument cancels four previous ministerial decisions from 2014 that specified who could apply for Student Guardian visas (visas for parents or guardians of international students) and how to submit applications.

Specifically, it revokes:

Three instruments that defined which "classes of persons" could apply for these visas
One instrument that allowed the use of post office boxes and courier addresses for these applications

Who it affects: People who were relying on the specific 2014 eligibility rules to apply for Student Guardian visas. After 1 July 2016, those particular application pathways and address rules no longer exist.

Why it matters: This is a "cleanup" exercise removing outdated visa rules. If you were planning to apply under one of the old 2014 categories, you may need to check current eligibility requirements instead.
