how does this cahnge of section 51 looks like? In order to streamline the visa application process and expedite the bureaucratic system of reunification approval, amending Section 51 of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) to alter visa criteria could directly facilitate family unity in accordance with the CRC. To enhance family cohesion, allocate a set number of visas each year for these separated family members. As they are approved with the health requirements and police clearance certificate process, the family member faces immediate risk and is exempt from Centrelink’s Newly Arrived Resident’s Waiting Period (Chia, 2016). One policy example is to streamline the visa application process thus expedite family reunification following the CRC, allowing concurrent processing, if a child's visa has once been approved and a partner relationship, automatically granting a parent's visa, facilitating momentarily family reunification.
