The instrument repeals the Migration (IMMI 17/018: Working Holiday Visa – Specified Work and Regional Australia) Instrument 2017 (IMMI 17/018) (F2017L01032), also made under the same definitions in subitem 1225(5) of Schedule 1 to the Regulations in accordance with subsection 33(3) of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 (the AIA). Subsection 33(3) of the AIA states that where an Act confers a power to make, grant or issue any instrument of a legislative or administrative character, the power shall be construed as including a power exercisable in the like manner and subject to the like conditions (if any) to repeal, rescind, revoke, amend, or vary any such instrument.

The instrument operates to specify areas of regional Australia and kinds of specified work for the definition of those terms in subitem 1225(5) of Schedule 1 to the Regulations, for the purposes of Working Holiday (Temporary) (Class TZ) visa. Paragraphs 417.211(5)(a) and 417.211(6)(a) of Schedule 2 to the Regulations require that applicants for a second or third Subclass 417 (Working Holiday) visa (Subclass 417 visa) within Class TZ to have carried out a period or periods of specified work in regional Australia.
