399AC: Extended immigration levy: consultation and review

You could also call this:

"Checking and Changing the Immigration Levy"

You need to know about the extended immigration levy. Before the Minister makes any rules about this levy, they must talk to people and groups they think are suitable. They must consider what is said in section 399AB. The Department must check the amount and method of calculation of the levy every 5 years. They do this to see if it is working as it should. You can find more information about changes to this law in the Immigration (Fiscal Sustainability and System Integrity) Amendment Act 2025.
