Migration (Health Services) Charge Regulations

Section 181 of the Migration Act 1958 provides that the Governor-General may make regulations making provision for the remission, refund or waiver of charges under the Migration (Health Services) Charge Act 1991.

The purpose of the Regulations is to provide that the health services charge may be refunded where a visa has been issued but is cancelled or expires and the holder has not travelled to Australia on that visa.
