1/10 complexity

This instrument creates a fast-track pathway to the Temporary Work (Short Stay Activity) visa (Subclass 400) for overseas emergency responders invited by the Australian, State or Territory governments to assist with disasters (firefighting, search and rescue, medical response). It lets the Department grant short‑term permission to enter Australia quickly where standard visa rules would otherwise block urgent international assistance.
