To be eligible for this visa, you:

• must hold Border (Temporary) visa (subclass 773) and can now satisfy the decision-maker that you would have satisfied the criteria for a Return (Residence) visa when the Border (Temporary) visa was granted, or

• must be a former holder of a Norfolk Island Immigration permit, or a dependent child of such a person.

The definition of dependent child can be found on the Department of Home Affairs (the Department) website www.homeaffairs.gov.au/trav/visa/incl

Immigration assistanceA person gives immigration assistance to you if he or she uses, or claims to use, his or her knowledge or experience in migration procedure to assist you with your visa application, request for ministerial intervention, cancellation review application, sponsorship or nomination.

In Australia a person may only lawfully give immigration assistance if he or she is a registered migration agent or is an exempt person under section 280 of the Migration Act 1958. Only registered migration agents may receive a fee or reward for providing immigration assistance.

If an unregistered person in Australia, who is not exempt from registration, gives you immigration assistance they are committing a criminal offence and may be prosecuted.

Migration agents in AustraliaMigration agents in Australia must be registered with the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (Office of the MARA) unless they are exempt from registration.

Migration agents outside AustraliaMigration agents who operate outside Australia do not have to be registered. The Department may give some overseas agents an ID number. This number does not mean that they are registered.

Note: Some Australian registered migration agents operate overseas.

Migration agent informationA migration agent is someone who can:

• advise you on the visa that may best suit you

• tell you the documents you need to submit with your application

• help you fill in the application and submit it, and

• communicate with the Department on your behalf.

If you appoint a migration agent, the Department will assume that your migration agent will be your authorised recipient, unless you indicate otherwise.

Your migration agent will be the person with whom the Department will discuss your application and from whom it will seek further information when required.

You are not required to use a migration agent. However, if you use a migration agent, the Department encourages you to use a registered migration agent. Registered agents are bound by the Migration Agents Code of Conduct, which requires them to act professionally in their clients’ lawful best interests.

Information on migration agents, including a list of registered migration agents, is available on the Office of the MARA website https://www.mara.gov.au

You can also access information about migration agents on the Department’s website www.homeaffairs.gov.au

Exempt personsThe following people do not have to be a registered migration agent in order to provide immigration assistance, but they must not charge a fee for their service:

• a close family member (spouse, de facto partner, child, parent, brother or sister)

• a member of parliament or their staff

• an official whose duties include providing immigration assistance (eg. a Legal Aid provider)

• a member of a diplomatic mission, consular post or international organisation.

Options for receiving written communicationsIf you do not appoint a migration agent/exempt person you may still authorise another person, in writing, to receive written communications on your behalf. This person is called the authorised recipient.

Authorised recipient informationAll written communication about your application will be sent to your authorised recipient, unless you indicate that you wish to have health and/or character information sent directly to you.

The Department will communicate with the most recently appointed authorised recipient as you may only appoint one authorised recipient at any time for a particular application.

You will be taken to have received any documents sent to that person as if they had been sent to you.

To appoint an authorised recipient you should complete:

• Part J – Options for receiving written communications, and

• form 956A Appointment or withdrawal of an authorised recipient.

Note: Migration agents/exempt persons do not need to complete form 956A.

Consent to communicate electronicallyThe Department may use a range of means to communicate with you. However, electronic means such as fax or email will only be used if you indicate your agreement to receiving communication in this way.

To process your application the Department may need to communicate with you about sensitive information, for example, health, police checks, financial viability and personal relationships. Electronic communications, unless adequately encrypted, are not secure and may be viewed by others or interfered with.

If you agree to the Department communicating with you by electronic means, the details you provide will only be used by the Department for the purpose for which you have provided them, unless there is a legal obligation or necessity to use them for another purpose, or you have consented to use for another purpose. They will not be added to any mailing list.

The Australian Government accepts no responsibility for the security or integrity of any information sent to the Department over the internet or by other electronic means.

56 AUSTRALIAN VALUES STATEMENT

This statement must be signed by the main applicant and each person aged 18 years or over who is included in this application.

I confirm that I have read, or had explained to me, information provided by the Australian Government on Australian society and values.

I understand:

• Australian society values respect for the freedom and dignity of the individual, freedom of religion, commitment to the rule of law, Parliamentary democracy, equality of men and women and a spirit of egalitarianism that embraces mutual respect, tolerance, fair play and compassion for those in need and pursuit of the public good.

• Australian society values equality of opportunity for individuals, regardless of their race, religion or ethnic background.

• the English language, as the national language, is an important unifying element of Australian society.

I undertake to respect these values of Australian society during my stay in Australia and to obey the laws of Australia.

I understand that, if I should seek to become an Australian citizen:

• Australian citizenship is a shared identity, a common bond which unites all Australians while respecting their diversity.

• Australian citizenship involves reciprocal rights and responsibilities. The responsibilities of Australian citizenship include obeying Australian laws, including those relating to voting at elections and serving on a jury.

If I meet the legal qualifications for becoming an Australian citizen and my application is approved I understand that I would have to pledge my loyalty to Australia and its people.
