5.38 Sponsorship fee
          (1) This regulation applies to sponsorship of an applicant if the applicant is applying
              for a temporary visa for which sponsorship is a requirement (other than a
              Subclass 600 (Visitor) visa).
          (2) Subject to subregulation (3), a fee is payable for seeking to be approved as a
              sponsor in respect of a sponsorship of an applicant to which this regulation
              applies, as follows:
                (a) if the person or organisation is seeking to sponsor more than 10 applicants
                    together—$3 350;
               (b) in any other case—$335 for each applicant the person or organisation is
                    seeking to sponsor.
          (3) If an application for a visa is not subject to a visa application charge, or a fee
              under these Regulations, no fee is payable for seeking to be approved as a
              sponsor in respect of that application.
