This instrument amends the Migration (IMMI 18/003: Specified courses and exams for registration as a migration agent) Instrument 2018 to set out prescribed courses, examinations, examination scores and periods for completion of scores and exams and also amends IMMI 18/003 to reflect the fact that the Capstone Assessment examination must be passed before 1 January 2021.

The Migration (Specified Courses and Exams for Registration as a Migration Agent) Amendment Instrument (LIN 21/005) 2021 (the Instrument) is made under subregulation 5(4) of the Migration Agents Regulations 1998 (the Regulations) and amends Migration (IMMI 18/003: Specified courses and exams for registration as a migration agent) Instrument 2018 (IMMI 18/003). IMMI 18/003 specifies courses and examinations that a person must have passed to be registered as a migration agent, where the person has not previously been registered or has not been registered in the preceding 3 years. The Instrument amends IMMI 18/003 to:

- update references to the instrument-making power in regulation 5 of the Regulations to reflect amendments made to that regulation and section 289A of the Migration Act 1958. These are consequential amendments that do not change the substance of the requirements already in place under IMMI 18/003;

- reflect that The College of Law Limited ceased to be a provider of the Capstone Assessment
