Life in Australia – Australian values
The Australian Government encourages people to gain an
understanding of Australia, its people and their way of life, before
applying for a visa to live in Australia.
This includes understanding that the English language, as the
national language, is an important unifying element of Australian
society. Australian society is also united through the following
shared values:
• respect for the freedom and dignity of the individual;
• freedom of religion (including the freedom not to follow
a particular religion), freedom of speech, and freedom of
association;
• commitment to the rule of law, which means that all people
are subject to the law and should obey it;
• parliamentary democracy whereby our laws are determined
by parliaments elected by the people, those laws being
paramount and overriding any other inconsistent religious or
secular ‘laws’;
• equality of opportunity for all people, regardless of their
gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, race, or national or
ethnic origin;
• a ‘fair go’ for all that embraces:
– mutual respect;
– tolerance;
– compassion for those in need; and
– equality of opportunity for all.
The Life in Australia booklet provides more information on the
values that Australians share and their way of life. This booklet is
available in a wide range of languages and can be obtained from
www.homeaffairs.gov.au
You are encouraged to read the Life in Australia booklet before
completing this application form. If you have difficulty, or are
unable to read the booklet, you may have the content of it
explained to you, for example, by a friend or relative. This form
contains a statement, that you must sign, that confirms you
understand and will undertake to conduct yourself in accordance
with the values of Australian society (as explained in the booklet)
and will obey the laws of Australia.
This statement must also be signed by each person aged 18 years
or over, who is included in this form.
Information about your subsequent application
Important – Please read this information carefully before you
complete your application. Once you have completed your
application we strongly advise that you keep a copy for your
records.
Complete this application form if you:
• are in Australia;
• hold or have held a Temporary Protection (Class XD) visa
(TPV) or a Safe Haven Enterprise (Class XE) visa (SHEV);
• are applying for a subsequent TPV or SHEV; and
• could not lodge your TPV or SHEV application online.
You must apply for another TPV or SHEV before your
current visa ceases. If you are an Unauthorised Maritime
Arrival (UMA) and your visa ceases before your
subsequent application is received by the Department,
your application will be considered invalid.
Form 1505 is for current and former TPV and SHEV holders
applying for a subsequent TPV or SHEV who cannot lodge an
online application.
This short form allows you to record changes in your personal
circumstances since you were granted your TPV or SHEV. This
form does not require you to provide claims for protection if you
or someone else in your family unit have already provided them
to the Department as part of your previous application. You only
need to provide new details if your previous reasons for claiming
protection have changed. If further information is required, the
Department will contact you after you lodge your application.
A subsequent TPV or SHEV application is a new visa application
that needs a new assessment, even if the Department streamlines
this assessment in some cases.
It is very important that you provide a complete application
including all new or additional information relevant to your
personal circumstances and to your protection claims.
Even if there have been no changes to your personal details and
protection claims since you were last granted a TPV or SHEV, the
Department will still have to assess if you engage Australia’s
protection obligations. This includes checking the current
situation in your home country.
If you were granted your TPV or SHEV as a member of the same
family unit of someone who was claiming protection and you are
no longer a member of that person’s family unit, you can apply
separately. You can provide your own claims for protection and
attach them to this form. If further information is required, the
Department will contact you after you lodge your application.
You may be granted a subsequent TPV or SHEV if you still engage
Australia’s protection obligations and you, and any members of
your family unit included in the application, meet all other
requirements for the grant of a protection visa under the
Migration Act 1958 and the Migration Regulations 1994.
Further information on the process for a subsequent TPV and
SHEV application is available on the Department’s website
