New Rules for Australian Migration Agents

0:00In Sydney today, March 16, migration agents in Australia now face new rules to maintain their registration. They must complete yearly ethics training and regular refreshes on their duties when helping people apply for visas. These labor government measures aim to boost system integrity after problems like fake details and illegal fees and applications. The changes kick in from April for all registered agents. The government is also cutting the daily limit on online training hours to ensure better learning. This builds on the Nixon review, which exposed weaknesses letting crime groups exploit the system. Most Australians view net and permanent migration levels as too high. While opinions on the government's handling have edged up slightly, over half still see it as unplanned. Fresh data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics comes out later this week showing levels above pre-pandemic times but down from recent peaks. Opposition leader Angus Taylor and others are pushing back hard, calling numbers excessive and standards lacks.

1:03Labor highlights his crackdowns on bad agents and falling migration without naming cut targets. They challenge rivals to specify which migrant groups to reduce. Meanwhile, the regulator has tripled its staff and ramped up enforcement. It sanctioned 14 agents this financial year and issued 61 penalties since 2021-22. Examples include a 20-year veteran banned for five years over false info and another suspended for two years for passing employer costs too. Applicants. DNA is sponsored by our partner.
