Note 1: Subsection 35A(4) of the Act provides that additional classes of permanent and temporary visas may be prescribed as protection visas for the purposes of section 31.
Note 2: For table items 4‑12, section 37 provides that there are classes of temporary visas, to be known as bridging visas.

2.02  Subclasses
 (1) Schedule 2 is divided into Parts, each identified by the word "Subclass" followed by a 3‑digit number (being the number of the subclass of visa to which the Part relates) and the title of the subclass.
 (2) For the purposes of this Part and Schedules 1 and 2, a Part of Schedule 2 is relevant to a particular class of visa if the Part of Schedule 2 is listed under the subitem "Subclasses" in the item in Schedule 1 that refers to that class of visa.

2.03  Criteria applicable to classes of visas
 (1) For the purposes of subsection 31(3) of the Act (which deals with criteria for the grant of a visa) and subject to other provisions of these Regulations, the prescribed criteria for the grant to a person of a visa of a particular class are:
 (a) the primary criteria set out in a relevant Part of Schedule 2; or
 (b) if a relevant Part of Schedule 2 sets out secondary criteria, those secondary criteria.
 (1A) However, if one or more criteria are set out in a Subdivision of a Part of Schedule 2 as a 'stream':
 (a) the primary criteria mentioned in paragraph (1)(a) are taken to be:
 (i) the primary criteria described as that stream; and
 (ii) all primary criteria that are not described as a stream; and
 (b) the secondary criteria mentioned in paragraph (1)(b) are taken to be:
 (i) the secondary criteria described as that stream; and
 (ii) all secondary criteria that are not described as a stream.
Example: Part 188 of Schedule 2 sets out the criteria for the grant of a Subclass 188 (Business Innovation and Investment (Provisional)) visa. The Part includes a Subdivision setting out common primary criteria and several Subdivisions setting out primary criteria that are described as streams, including a Business Innovation stream. The primary criteria mentioned in paragraph (1)(a) are taken to be the Business Innovation stream and all primary criteria that are not described as a stream.
 (1B) If one or more criteria are set out in a Subdivision of a Part of Schedule 2 as a 'stream', the visa to which the Part relates may be described as '[the Subclass of the visa] in the [name of the stream]'.
Example: A visa whose criteria are set out in
