This instrument operates to determine international trade obligations of Australia for the purposes of paragraph 140GBA(1)(c) of the Migration Act 1958. This instrument acts alongside instrument Migration (LIN 18/183: Determination of International Trade Obligations relating to Labour Market Testing) Instrument 2018, made under subsection 140GBA(2) of the Migration Act 1958.

The instrument gives domestic effect to Australia’s commitments under the Pacific Agreement on Closer Economic Relations Plus (PACER Plus) for the purposes of labour market testing. PACER Plus will enter into force 60 days after the date on which eight countries notify the Depository (in this instance, the Government of Tonga) of their ratification of PACER Plus.
