About Migration Agents

Why would you use a Migration Agent to help, when there is so much information publicly available on the Department of Immigration and Citizenship website?

Put simply, there are so many different visa options, it can be difficult to know which is the best one in your circumstance.  A Registered Migration Agent has the appropriate education and experience to advise you on the best course of action considering your short and long term goals.   Using an agent also takes the hassle out of the process, as the agent lodges all forms and deals with correspondence from the Department of Immigration.

If you do use an Agent, make sure that you use one who is Registered with the Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA).    This provides you with the security of knowing that your agent is of good character, has the appropriate skills and knowledge and abides by the MARA Code of Conduct.

The Migration Advice Profession is regulated,  in the interests of consumers and professionals.     The MARA provides  information for consumers about what they should expect from a migration agent.    This important information is available in many different languages.
