Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This instrument tells visa applicants exactly where to send their paperwork. It replaces older address rules and sets out two specific lodgement points:

For applications from Hong Kong: Send them to the Australian Consulate General in Wanchai (Harbour Centre).
For certain business skills applications in Adelaide: Use the Adelaide Business Skills Processing Centre. If using a courier, send to the street address on Currie Street. If posting via regular mail, use the GPO Box address instead.

The instrument is purely administrative—updating the physical locations where the Department of Immigration accepts specific visa applications to ensure they reach the right processing centre.
