eVisa application, including any documents which may have been sent by
email before this issue was resolved.
FEE INCREASE FOR AFP POLICE CHECKS
The Australian Federal Police (AFP) advise that the fee for National Police

The new fees (that are applicable to the department's clients requiring an
Australian police clearance) are as follows:
$43.00 - Application for a NPC from a government department or an
individual
$49.00 - Application for a NPC from a non-government organisation (eg
Commercial entities such as brokers, migration agents etc).
The full fee schedule is outlined on the AFP website:
