Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This instrument sets a numerical cutoff—30 on the official impairment rating scale—to decide when a visa applicant’s health condition or disability is likely to impose a "significant cost" on the Australian community. It affects visa applicants with medical needs by making those at or above the threshold potentially ineligible unless an exception or waiver applies, impacting migration, family reunification, and access for people with disabilities.
