Immigration Advisers Licensing Act 2007

Regulation of immigration advisers - Immigration advisers to be licensed, unless exempt

14: Review of exemptions

You could also call this:

“The Registrar checks exemptions and reports to the Minister, who can suggest changes”

The Registrar must check each exemption given by rules at least every 3 years. They can also check any exemption at any time. After checking, the Registrar tells the Minister what they found.

The Minister looks at what the Registrar said and can suggest to the Governor-General that an exemption should be removed or changed.

If the Minister suggests it, the Governor-General can make new rules to cancel or change an exemption.

These new rules are a type of law called secondary legislation. This means they need to follow certain rules about how they are published.
