MIGRATION AMENDMENT ACT (No. 3) 1992 No. 85, 1992 - SECT 5

5.(1) In this section, expressions have the same meanings as in Part 2A of
the Principal Act as amended by this Act ("Agents Part").

(2) If, immediately before the commencement of this Act, a person was holding
himself or herself out as available to give immigration assistance, Division 2
of the Agents Part does not apply to the person for the period of 3 months
after the commencement.

(3) If an individual to whom subsection (2) applies makes an application
within those 3 months, Division 2 of the Agents Part continues not to apply to
him or her for the further period ending on the day that:

   (a)  the Board directs him or her to cease to hold himself or herself out
        as available to give immigration assistance; or

   (b)  he or she becomes a registered agent; whichever is earlier.

(4) If an individual to whom subsection (2) applies makes an application
within those 3 months, section 114T in the Agents Part applies to the person's
application as if the following paragraph were substituted for paragraph (f):

"(f) does not satisfy at least one of the following:

        (i)    is the holder of a prescribed qualification;

        (ii)   has had substantial experience in giving migration assistance
               over a period of at least 2 years immediately before making the

        (iii)  has, in the opinion of the Secretary, a sound knowledge of
               migration procedure.".
