Declared VIM areas - Western Australia

The delegate may not enter into a VIM agreement with a person unless, amongst other things, the person's usual place of residence is within a declared VIM area.

Under SS(Admin)Act section 123TGA the relevant Ministers (the Minister for Education, the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations, and the Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs) are able to make a legislative instrument determining that a specified state, or territory, or area, is a declared VIM area for the purposes of SS(Admin)Act Part 3B.
