税务部门还将审查移民中介，以帮助查出诈骗分子利用外国投资规定进行欺诈的行为。
审计内容包括签证申请人及其担保人的地址纪录；学生签证持有人还需提供所有出入境澳洲纪录及其所在教育机构的详情。
合资格的移民若在离澳前未申领养老金，现可以领取。
The Australian Inland Revenue Authority says it expects to have a record of two hundred thousand people over a three-year period.
该部门称：“这些纪录将通过电子手段与税务局数据资料进行匹配，以查出不遵守税务及养老金法规的行为”，这能令税务局“持续掌握签证持有人及其担保人、移民中介中存在的税务、养老金问题风险，并检验现行风险检测机制的效力及准确程度……发现检测机制、处理系统中需要改善的问题”。
