Migration Point-in-Time Service Updates
Tuesday 21 July 2015 @ 10.29 a.m.
The Migration Point-in-Time Service has been updated to include the amendments from the Migration Amendment (Regional Processing Arrangements) Act 2015 (No. 104 of 2015).
Act 104 of 2015
The Migration Amendment (Regional Processing Arrangements) Act 2015 (the Act) amends the Migration Act 1958 (the Migration Act) to provide statutory authority which applies where the Commonwealth has entered
into an arrangement with another country with respect to the regional processing functions
of that country.
The Migration Act confers express power to take unauthorised maritime arrivals to
a country that has been designated by the Minister, by legislative instrument, to
be a regional processing country. Currently, the Republic of Nauru and the Independent
State of Papua New Guinea are designated as regional processing countries.
The amendments made by Act 104 of 2015 have been updated in the Point-in-Time Migration Service current to 21 July 2015. (NB: Subscription required).
