The purpose of this instrument is to amend the application of the repeal provision in Part 2 of Schedule 2 to the instrument.

The amendment is to clarify that, despite its repeal, IMMI 16/019 applies to all applications for a Subclass 500 (Student) visa made, but not finally determined, before 6 June 2018, the date of commencement of IMMI 18/015.

This is consistent with Part 3 of IMMI 18/015, which provides that the instrument applies to applications made on or after commencement. The amended savings provision still covers applicants who took the TOEFL-PBT and submitted their application before 6 June 2018.
