⚖️澳洲签证品行审查10月31日起变了：Direction 123全解读Australia’s Visa Character Assessment Changes on 31 October: Ministerial Direction 123 Explained

【本文摘要】
2026年10月31日起，澳洲移民局和行政复审庭（ART）在因”品行”拒签或取消签证时，将适用新的部长指令Direction 123，取代自2024年6月生效的Direction 110。新指令把”与澳洲的联系”从主要考虑因素降为其他考虑因素，扩大了家庭暴力的定义，在”社区期望”中加入仇恨言论等内容，并删除了对澳洲商业利益影响的考虑；部分情形下的风险标准也从”会”降为”可能会”。需要注意的是，Direction 123不是新签证，也不改变法律本身，只影响品行问题被触发之后的决定方式。本文梳理核心变化、哪些人最需要留意，以及收到通知后的应对思路。

它不是新签证，也不改变法律——但当品行问题被触发时，”在澳洲住了多久、家人在不在这里”的分量，将不再像以前那样重
Subtitle: It isn’t a new visa and doesn’t change the law — but once character concerns are triggered, long residence and family ties will no longer carry the weight they used to

📌核心提醒：10月31日当天或之后，如果移民局或ART正在审理你的品行案件，应预期适用Direction 123，即使案件更早就已开始。
Core point: if the Department or the ART is considering your character matter on or after 31 October, you should expect Direction 123 to apply, even if the matter started earlier.

一、Direction 123是什么What Direction 123 is

📜 基本信息
📜 The basics

Direction 123由内政部长于2026年9月18日签署，2026年10月31日生效，并取代自2024年6月生效的Direction 110。
Direction 123 was signed by the Minister for Home Affairs on 18 September 2026, commences on 31 October 2026, and replaces Direction 110, which has been in effect since June 2024.

它对移民局代表和行政复审庭（ART）都有约束力，也就是说决定者必须遵守。
It binds both Department delegates and the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART), meaning decision-makers must follow it.

它不是一种新签证，不能申请，也不改变费用，法律本身（《1958年移民法》第501条）没有改变。
It is not a new visa, can’t be applied for, doesn’t change any fees, and doesn’t change the law itself (section 501 of the Migration Act 1958).

🎯 它在什么时候适用
🎯 When it applies

只有当签证申请或签证因品行问题被考虑时，它才适用，包括因品行拒签、因品行取消签证，以及请求撤销强制取消。
It applies only when a visa application or visa is being considered on character grounds — refusal, cancellation, or a request to revoke a mandatory cancellation.

据我们参考的律所说明，它针对的是签证的品行评估，不适用于入籍申请。
According to the law firm commentary we reviewed, it concerns the character assessment of visas and does not apply to citizenship applications.

二、品行决定是怎么做出的
2. How a character decision is made

🔍 第一步：品行测试
🔍 Step 1: the character test

《移民法》第501条规定了品行测试，例如重大犯罪记录、特定过往行为、与特定团体或人员的关联，以及特定未来行为的风险。
Section 501 of the Migration Act sets the character test — for example a substantial criminal record, certain past conduct, associations with certain groups or people, and a risk of certain future conduct.

不是每一项指控或定罪都会触发第501条。
Not every charge or conviction falls within section 501.

⚖️ 第二步：权衡
⚖️ Step 2: weighing up

未通过品行测试，不等于签证一定被拒或被取消，决定者通常仍有裁量权，并按部长指令来权衡各项因素。
Failing the test doesn’t necessarily mean refusal or cancellation — the decision-maker generally retains a discretion and weighs the factors set out in the ministerial direction.

例外是部分正在服刑的人，签证会被自动取消（强制取消），之后可以申请撤销，决定者同样按指令来权衡。
The exception is some people serving a prison sentence, whose visas are cancelled automatically (mandatory cancellation) and who can then request revocation — weighed under the same direction.

📋 第三步：决定
📋 Step 3: the decision

如果决定不利，部分决定可以向ART申请复审，复审期限通常很短。
If the decision is adverse, some decisions can be taken to the ART for review, and the time limits are generally short.

三、核心变化
3. The key changes

⬇️ 与澳洲的联系被降级
⬇️ Ties to Australia are downgraded

在Direction 110下，一个人与澳洲联系的强度、性质和时长，是五项主要考虑因素之一。
Under Direction 110, the strength, nature and duration of a person’s ties to Australia was one of five primary considerations.

Direction 123把它降为”其他考虑因素”，这意味着长期居住或家人在澳，更难抵消对犯罪行为的顾虑。
Direction 123 moves it to an “other” consideration, meaning long residence or close family here is less likely to outweigh concerns about the person’s conduct.

联系仍然会被考虑，但分量比以前轻。
Ties still count, but carry less weight than before.

🏠 家庭暴力的定义扩大
🏠 A broader definition of family violence

家庭暴力仍是主要考虑因素，但定义大幅扩大，列出了更多行为类型，包括图像滥用、跟踪骚扰和违反法庭令。
Family violence remains a primary consideration, but the definition is substantially broader, listing more types of conduct including image-based abuse, stalking and breaching court orders.

它覆盖的关系也更广，包括照护关系和文化意义上的家庭群体。
It also covers more relationships, including caregiving relationships and cultural family groups.

这意味着以前可能不被视为家庭暴力的行为，现在可能被重判。
This means conduct that may not have been treated as family violence under Direction 110 could now weigh heavily against a person.

📣 “社区期望”加入新内容
📣 New content under “community expectations”

仇恨言论、煽动暴力或不和，被加入可能支持不利决定的行为。
Hate speech and incitement of violence or discord are added as conduct that may support an adverse decision.

指令还说明，这一因素即使在当事人将以临时签证留在澳洲时也适用。
The direction also states this consideration applies even if the person would remain in Australia on a temporary visa.

🏢 商业利益因素被删除
🏢 The business interests factor is removed

在Direction 110下，决定者需要考虑决定对澳洲商业利益的影响，Direction 123把它删除了。
Under Direction 110, decision-makers had to consider the impact on Australian business interests; Direction 123 removes it.

这意味着雇主或业务受到的影响，不能再作为一项独立因素支持当事人。
This means an employer’s or business’s interests can no longer weigh in a person’s favour as a separate factor.

🎚️ 部分情形下风险标准降低
🎚️ A lower risk threshold in some situations

在部分品行条款的指引中，标准从”有风险你会从事某行为”降为”有风险你可能会从事某行为”。
For some character grounds, the guidance moves from a risk that you “would” engage in the conduct to a risk that you “might”.

2026年1月22日生效的法律，已经对第501(6)(d)条做了同样的修改，并适用于该日期之后作出的决定，包括当时仍在等待决定的申请。
A law that took effect on 22 January 2026 made the same change to section 501(6)(d), applying to decisions made from that date, including applications still awaiting a decision.

🛡️ 仇恨与极端主义的新条款
🛡️ A new hate and extremism ground

2026年1月，法律在品行测试中新增了第501(6)(baa)条，涉及与恐怖组织、受禁仇恨团体的关联，以及仇恨犯罪行为和仇恨公开言论。
In January 2026, the law added section 501(6)(baa) to the character test, covering association with terrorist organisations or prohibited hate groups, hate crime conduct, and hateful public statements.

Direction 123并没有创设这一条款，而是增加了如何适用它的指引。
Direction 123 doesn’t create this ground — it adds guidance on how to apply it.

四、哪些人最需要留意
4. Who should pay particular attention

⏳ 在澳洲居住多年的人
⏳ Long-term residents

以前，在澳洲长大或有澳洲公民家人的人，可以较多依赖”联系”这一主要因素。
Previously, people who grew up here or have Australian citizen family members could rely heavily on ties as a primary factor.

在Direction 123下，这个论点会更弱。
Under Direction 123, that argument is weaker.

📋 有犯罪记录、未决指控，或家庭暴力令的人
📋 People with a criminal record, pending charges or a family violence order

如果你是有犯罪记录、未决指控，或曾涉及家庭暴力令的签证申请人或持有人，可能会触发进一步的品行评估。
If you’re a visa applicant or holder with a criminal record, pending charges, or a family violence order, further character assessment may be triggered.

维州的家庭暴力令，通常指家庭暴力保护令（Family Violence Intervention Order）。
In Victoria, a family violence order typically means a Family Violence Intervention Order.

五、10月31日前后的案件
5. Matters around 31 October

📅 看决定是什么时候作出的
📅 It depends on when the decision is made

如果移民局或ART在2026年10月31日或之后考虑你的案件，应预期适用Direction 123，即使案件更早开始。
If the Department or the ART considers your matter on or after 31 October 2026, you should expect Direction 123 to apply, even if your matter began earlier.

在Direction 110下准备好的陈述材料，可能需要更新。
Submissions prepared under Direction 110 may need updating.

⏰ 先确认回复期限
⏰ Confirm your response deadline first

如果你已经收到品行相关的通知，请先确认通知上的回复期限。
If you’ve already received a character-related notice, identify the response deadline first.

六、收到通知后怎么做
6. What to do if you receive a notice

✅ 如实、完整地回答所有品行问题
✅ Answer every character question truthfully and completely

在签证申请中如实回答，是最基本的要求。
Answering truthfully on your visa application is the most basic requirement.

✅ 在期限内回复
✅ Respond within the deadline

收到移民局”考虑拒签或取消”的通知，一定要在通知规定的期限内回复。
If you receive a notice that the Department is considering refusal or cancellation, respond within the deadline stated in the notice.

签证被自动取消的，要在信中规定的时间内提交撤销请求。
If your visa was cancelled automatically, submit your revocation request within the time stated in the letter.

✅ 回应要针对通知提出的问题
✅ Respond to the concerns actually raised

回应应当覆盖指令中的主要考虑因素，同时在其他因素上也提供证据，比如你与澳洲的联系，以及被遣返后会面临的困难。
Your response should address the primary considerations and also provide evidence on the other factors, such as your ties to Australia and the difficulties you’d face if removed.

笼统的品行证明信，不能代替对通知所指问题的具体回应。
General character references are no substitute for a response to the specific concerns in your notice.

七、哪些情况建议尽早咨询
7. When to get advice early

• 已经收到”考虑取消”或拒签通知。
• You’ve received a notice of intention to consider cancellation, or a refusal.

• 有未决指控或刑事记录，并计划递交签证申请或续签。
• You have pending charges or a criminal record and plan to apply for or renew a visa.

• 曾涉及家庭暴力令。
• You’ve been involved in a family violence order.

• 在澳洲居住多年，打算主要依靠”联系”来争取结果。
• You’ve lived here for many years and planned to rely mainly on your ties.

• 案件正好在10月31日前后处于待决状态。
• Your matter is pending around 31 October.
