Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This instrument replaces the old designated-area postcode list with a new official map used for certain migration sponsorship rules, identifying which postcodes count as “designated areas” for sponsor residency requirements.

It affects Australian residents who sponsor migrants and visa applicants whose eligibility depends on their sponsor living in one of those designated areas.
