What we know, and how current it is.
We only state what traces to a saved primary source. Here is exactly what is in the knowledge base, its currency, and how much of each pathway we have structured.

Coverage
85 of 85 Schedule 2 Parts in the compilation are structured — their grant criteria ingested and verbatim-verified (the total of 85 is machine-derived, not hard-coded). Schedule 2 spans two volumes of the compilation and both are parsed, so this is whole-schedule coverage. The shared instruments (Schedule 6D points, LIN 25/016 English, LIN 19/051 occupation lists) are ingested once and cited by the criteria that reference them. Indicative points are computed end-to-end for the General Skilled Migration subclasses (189/190/491); other pathways return their cited criteria for a professional to apply.

How to read this list
- Act, Regulations, Legislative instrument:
- Law made by Parliament or under an Act and registered on the Federal Register of Legislation. These are what set the criteria an application must meet.
- Ministerial Direction:
- A direction under section 499 of the Migration Act, which a person or body exercising powers under the Act must comply with (section 499(2A)).
- Guidance, Departmental policy:
- How an authority says it applies the law. Useful context, but not law, so it is shown with the date we last checked it rather than as current.
- Announcement:
- What a minister has said will change. It is not law until an instrument making the change is registered, and no criterion here rests on it.
- register checked (date):
- When we last checked the Federal Register of Legislation on that date, no amendment to the version we hold was recorded there, and the check is within its re-check window. An amendment registered after that date is not shown here until the next check.
- point-in-time consolidation:
- Text we consolidated ourselves by applying a commenced amending instrument to the latest registered compilation, labelled as such and citing both. It is not an official compilation, and it is served only for the provisions the amendment changed and only from the day it applies.
- amended, not yet compiled:
- Amendments have commenced but the Register has not yet published a compilation that includes them. Where the changed provisions are known they are withheld rather than shown in their old form; otherwise everything from the source carries a warning.
- stale:
- The version we hold has been replaced, or has gone past its re-check window. Anything that relies on it is flagged for review until it is checked again.
