"Checking and Changing the Immigration Levy Rules"

Illustration for Immigration Act 2009

When the Minister wants to make new rules about the immigration levy, you need to know they must talk to people and groups they think are suitable. The Minister has to consider what is said in section 399(1) and the requirements in section 399(3AA) when deciding who to talk to. The Department must check the immigration levy every 5 years to see if it needs to be changed.
