The instrument amends Migration (LIN 19/047: Specification of Occupations— Subclass 187 Visa) Instrument 2019 (F2019L00276) and Migration (LIN 19/049: Specification of Occupations and Assessing Authorities—Subclass 186 Visa) Instrument 2019 (F2019L00275) 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 amend LIN 19/047 and LIN 19/049 to change the definition of Health Workforce Certificate (HWC).

The purpose of the instrument is to update the definition of HWC in LIN 19/047 and LIN 19/049. As a result of changes to LIN 19/048 and LIN 19/219 to introduce the Health Workforce Exemption Certificate (HWEC), the definition of HWC was amended in LIN 19/047 and LIN 19/049. The change to the definition of HWC in LIN 19/047 and LIN 19/049 by this instrument, ensures that the definition is the same as the definition of HWC in LIN 19/048 and LIN 19/219.
