Today, Minister Burke met with the President of Nauru David Adeang, the cabinet and the entire Nauruan Parliament.
During the visit an MOU was signed between Burke and Adeang.
It contains undertakings for the proper treatment and long-term residence of people who have no legal right to stay in Australia, to be received in Nauru.
Australia will provide funding to underpin this arrangement and support Nauru's long-term economic resilience.
In announcing the MOU, the President and Minister referred to further long term visas to be granted by Nauru to people who no longer have a legal right to remain in Australia.
This MOU will allow the continued management of the NZYQ cohort.
