Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This document is a formal ministerial decision that cancels a previous government determination (Instrument IMMI 10/092 from February 2011).

Who it affects:

Organisations: Businesses and entities that were on an approved list to sponsor short-term business visitors to Australia
Visa applicants: People applying for short-stay business visas who relied on sponsorship from those listed organisations

What it means: The 2011 list of approved sponsoring organisations is abolished. As of 23 March 2013, those organisations can no longer use that specific authority to sponsor business visitors. This appears to be a housekeeping measure to clear the way for new rules (it commences immediately after another migration amendment regulation takes effect).

In simple terms: The government is shredding an old list of approved business sponsors, likely because the visa system is changing.
