Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This instrument revokes a prior ministerial specification and replaces it by declaring, for migration‑regulation purposes, that the relevant class of person is a non‑citizen invited by the Australian Government or a State/Territory to come to Australia to assist with emergency services during a disaster or emergency.

It matters to invited personnel and visa decision‑makers because it clarifies who falls within that class for applying the Migration Regulations; it takes effect once the linked amendment regulating temporary activity visas commences.
