Subject: Freedom of Information request - Impairment tables for Carers Visa
From: "c.faulk" <[FOI #7273 email]>
To: FOI requests at Department of Home Affairs <[Department of Home Affairs request email]>

Dear Department of Home Affairs,

In the Migration Regulations 1994 reference is made to Impairment Tables (Part 1, Division 1.2, Section 1.15AA):

(1)(b)(iii) the impairment has, under the Impairment Tables (within the meaning of subsection 23(1) of the Social Security Act 1991), the rating that is specified in the certificate; and

The Impairment Tables have variously been referenced elsewhere without actual reference to the Table themselves (Migration Legislation Amendment (2016 Measures No. 3) Regulation 2016;  Commonwealth of Australia Gazette No. GN 47,25 November 1998 and Migration (IMMI 17/126: Impairment Rating) Instrument 2017). 

Would you kindly provide documentation pertaining to the Impairment Tables in their current form as used with regards to the assessment for a Carers Visa under the Migration Regulations 1994. Ideally you would provide the Impairment Tables themselves with the scoring system and with reference to their origin.

Yours faithfully,

c.faulk
