Changes to the Special Humanitarian Programme
On 28 September 2012 significant changes were made to the Migration Regulations. These changes affect Irregular Maritime Arrivals and their ability to propose family members under the Special Humanitarian Programme.
Applications will no longer be approved solely on the basis of the applicant’s relationship to the proposer.
The following criteria will now be assessed for these applications:
As of 22 March 2014, the additional criteria above also applies to applications lodged by Irregular Maritime Arrivals (IMAs) who arrived prior to 13 August 2012 and who were aged under 18 at the time they were granted their visas. These applications will also no longer be approved solely on the basis of the applicant's relationship to the proposer.
We embrace diversity and welcome all people, irrespective of culture, faith, sexual orientation and gender identity.
