Commonwealth legislation
This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This instrument authorises 33 named agencies and specific positions within them to access immigration movement records (entry/exit data) for defined purposes, replacing the 2015 instrument. Access is constrained by a strict "agency + role + purpose" permission model tied to listed laws and uses.
It matters because it formally enables targeted sharing of sensitive travel data for functions like tax, law enforcement, social security and security vetting while limiting who can see the information and why.
