Table A

Application, saving or transitional provisions

Migration Legislation Amendment Act (No. 1) 1997 (No. 27, 1997)

Schedule 1

Part 2--Application and transitional

29  Application

(1)       The amendment made by item 13 of this Schedule applies in relation to applications whether made before, at or after the commencement of this item.

(2)       The remaining amendments of the Immigration (Education) Act 1971 and the Migration Act 1958 made by this Schedule apply in relation to applications for visas made at or after the commencement of the Migration (Visa Application) Charge Act 1997.

Note:       Under item 30, some applications that are made before the commencement of the Migration (Visa Application) Charge Act 1997 are taken to be made immediately after that time.

30  Transitional

                     (a)  an application for a visa is made before the commencement of the Migration (Visa Application) Charge Act 1997; and

                     (b)  a visa application fee, or part of a visa application fee, payable under the Migration Act 1958 in respect of the application has not been paid at that time;

Migration Legislation Amendment (Migration Agents) Act 1997 (No. 205, 1997)

Schedule 1

Part 2--Application and transitional provisions

67  Migration Agents Registration Board may disclose personal information

The Migration Agents Registration Board may disclose to the Department personal information (as defined by the Privacy Act 1988) that:

                     (a)  is relevant to the exercise of the Board's powers or the performance of the Board's functions; or

                     (b)  may help the Migration Agents Registration Authority exercise its powers or perform its functions under the Migration Act 1958 as amended by this Act.

68  Department may disclose personal information

(1)       This item authorises certain disclosures of personal information (as defined by the Privacy Act 1988) for the purpose of facilitating or expediting the exercise of the powers, or performance of the functions, of the Migration Agents Registration Authority under the Migration Act 1958 as amended by this Act.

(2)       The Department may make a disclosure to the Migration Institute of Australia Limited (A.C.N. 003 409 390) (the Institute) or an officer or employee of the Institute at a time before 21 March 1998 if the Minister has made an instrument before that time appointing the Institute under section 315 of that Act.

Note:       Section 4 of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 lets the Minister make such an instrument before 21 March 1998.

(3)       For the purposes of subitem (2), it does not matter when the Department obtained the personal information disclosed.

69  Transitional provision for Register of Migration Agents

The Register of Migration Agents continues in force, despite the amendment of section 287 of the Migration Act 1958 by item 31.

Note:       This means that a migration agent who was registered immediately before that amendment continues to be a registered agent after that amendment until his or her registration expires or is cancelled or suspended, or he or she is deregistered.

70  Applications for registration made before 21 March 1998

(1)       This item makes special provision for an individual's application to be registered as a registered agent if:

                     (a)  the application was made under section 288 of the Migration Act 1958 before 21 March 1998; and

                     (b)  the applicant had not been registered as a result of the application before that day; and

                     (c)  neither the Secretary nor the Migration Agents Registration Board had made a decision before that day not to register the applicant.

(2)       Part 3 of the Migration Act 1958 as amended by this Schedule applies to the application as if the applicant had made the application to the Migration Agents Registration Authority.

(3)       That Part applies as if the application were made on the form approved for the purposes of subsection 288(2) of the Migration Act 1958 as in force on and after 21 March 1998.

(4)       That Part applies as if any registration application fee on the application had been paid, if:

                     (a)  the applicant had paid levy on the application under the Migration Agents Registration (Application) Levy Act 1992; or

                     (b)  the application was exempt from levy under that Act.

(5)       If the Secretary had published notice of the application in the Gazette and a statement under subsection 289(1) of the Migration Act 1958 as in force before 21 March 1998, Part 3 of that Act as in force on and after that day applies as if:

                     (a)  the applicant had given notice of his or her intention to apply for registration under subsection 288(1A) of that Act (as in force on and after 21 March 1998); and

                     (b)  the notice given by the applicant had stated that the time for objections ended 6 weeks after the day the Secretary published notice of the application.

(6)       In deciding whether the applicant should be registered, the Migration Agents Registration Authority must consider an objection to registering the applicant, even if it was made to the Secretary before 21 March 1998.

Note:       The Migration Agents Registration Authority may also consider any further submission requested by the Migration Agents Registration Board under section 309 of the Migration Act 1958. See item 78.

71  Application of section 291 of the Migration Act 1958

Section 291 of the Migration Act 1958 (as in force after the commencement of item 35) applies to a refusal of an application for registration, whether the refusal occurred before or after the commencement of that item.

72  Application of section 292 of the Migration Act 1958

Section 292 of the Migration Act 1958 (as in force after the commencement of item 35) applies to a cancellation of a migration agent's registration, whether the cancellation occurred before or after the commencement of that item.

73  Special arrangements for renewal of registration of some migration agents in the voluntary sector

(1)       This item makes special provision for a registered agent if:

                     (a)  the agent's registration is due for renewal under section 300 of the Migration Act 1958 on or after 21 March 1998 but no later than 20 September 1998; and

                     (b)  the agent gives immigration assistance only as an employee of, or a voluntary worker for, a person or organisation that does not charge people receiving the assistance a fee, or require any other reward from them, for the assistance.

(2)       Paragraph 302(1)(b) of the Migration Act 1958 has effect in relation to the renewal occurring in 1998 as if that paragraph referred to 6 months instead of 2 weeks.

Note:       This gives the agent 6 months (rather than 2 weeks) to pay the renewal fee.

(3)       The Migration Agents Registration Authority must deregister the agent by removing his or her name from the Register of Migration Agents if, 6 months after the renewal in 1998 of the agent's registration, the Authority is satisfied that the agent is not a fit and proper person to give immigration assistance because the agent does not have either:

                     (a)  a qualification prescribed by the regulations for the purposes of paragraph 290(2)(b) of the Migration Act 1958; or

                     (b)  a knowledge of migration procedure that the Authority considers to be sound.

                     (b)  proceedings for recovery of the debt have not been brought in a court of competent jurisdiction;

then, section 140S of the new law applies:

                     (c)  in relation to the debt--as if the debt were an amount prescribed by the regulations under section 140H of the new law in relation to a sponsorship obligation; and

                     (d)  in relation to a person who is or was a standard business sponsor immediately before this Schedule commences--as if the person were an approved sponsor under section 140E of the new law.

48  Continued effect of Division 3A of the Migration Act 1958 for approved professional development sponsors

Despite the repeals and amendments made by Schedule 1, the old law continues to apply to a person who is an approved professional development sponsor on the day on which this item commences until the person ceases to be an approved professional development sponsor.

                     (a)  a person has applied for approval as a sponsor under section 140E of the old law; and

                     (b)  the person's application is not finally determined (within the meaning of subsection 5(9) of the Migration Act 1958) before the day on which this Schedule commences;

then:

                     (c)  the application is treated as if it had been made on the day on which this Schedule commences; and

                     (d)  if criteria prescribed under section 140E of the new law are satisfied--the Minister must approve the person as a sponsor in relation to one or more classes prescribed for the purpose of subsection 140E(2) of the new law.
