On 1 September 1994 major amendments to the Migration Act 1958 came into effect. These Regulations implement in great detail (657 pages) these changes. Examples of the most significant changes: (a) the legal basis of entry to and stay in Australia and the status under the Act of non-citizens has been simplified; (b) a system of bridging visas has been created to allow non-citizens to maintain lawful status in specified circumstances; (c) a legislative basis has been provided for immigration clearance procedures; and (d) codes of procedure relating to the making of certain decisions under the Act have been established. Made under the Migration Act 1958. Reprinted as in force 1 September 1999.
