• Component 2: Creation of additional humanitarian places via a new, uncapped private humanitarian sponsorship program.
• Component 3: New pathways to permanency for people on Temporary Protection Visas and Safe Haven Enterprise Visas and support those failed by the Fast Track system.
• Component 4: Ending indefinite immigration detention by introducing a 7-day cap for people held in immigration detention.
• Component 5: Ending offshore detention and bring all persons still in Papua New Guinea or Nauru to Australia and into supported and supervised community accommodation, with the option of permanent settlement in Australia.
• Component 6: Providing $500 million over 4 years to establish a system that will assess protection claims in a timely fashion, providing people access to healthcare, education and work permits during the assessment period; and work with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and regional partner countries to support a cooperative approach.
• Component 7: Ending the Department of Home Affairs and return its funding and responsibilities to the departments that previously held them.
  • Ending the Australian Border Force and terminating all activities related to Operation Sovereign Borders. The Australian Customs Service would be re-established to manage border traffic and trade measures.
