Migration Consultants and Immigration Lawyers Australia

NO matter how much of a jack-of-all-trades you consider yourself, for some jobs you just have to call the experts. So when it comes to Australian Visas applications, you really need to hire some help - preferably in the form of a lawyer. A governing authority called the Migration Agents Registration Authority regulates anyone who provides immigration assistance. Australian Lawyers are immediately eligible to apply for registration with the MARA whilst other applicants, who must either be Australian citizens or Australian permanent residents, must hold a Graduate Certificate in Migration Law and Practice.

Hiring a registered migration agent over an overseas non-registered agent is also highly recommended by the Australian Government.

Below are some Migration Consultants and Immigration Lawyers in Australia that BBM recommend:
