"The purpose of the instrument is to specify an Australian Government endorsed event and a class of persons in relation to that event for the purpose of clause 408.229 of Schedule 2 to the Migration Regulations"

The purpose of the new instrument is to "amend IMMI 15/144 by: updating the country list under Column A of Schedule 1 and Column A of Schedule 2 based on low and high Tuberculosis risk countries; and introducing an express requirement for a ... test for the classes of person specified in IMMI 15/144 pursuant to paragraphs 4005(1)(aa) and 4007(1)(aa) of the Migration Regulations"
