Why Consult a Registered Migration Agent?
Thinking about moving to Australia? Australian migration requirements can be complex and may change over time. Understanding the requirements that apply to your individual circumstances can be an important part of making informed decisions about your migration options.
A Registered Migration Agent can provide professional migration assistance, explain relevant requirements and help you understand the steps involved in your matter.
Current Migration Knowledge
Registered Migration Agents are required to maintain sufficient knowledge and skills to provide immigration assistance professionally and competently and to keep access to up-to-date migration law materials.
An RMA can assess your circumstances against the relevant migration requirements and provide advice about available options, eligibility considerations and potential risks.
Individual Assessment
Every migration matter is different.
A Registered Migration Agent can consider your individual circumstances, objectives and migration history before providing advice about options that may be available to you.
This can help you better understand the requirements involved and identify issues that may need to be addressed before proceeding.
Professional Assistance Throughout the Process
Depending on your matter, a Registered Migration Agent may assist with:
- Visa applications
- Employer-sponsored migration
- Family migration matters
- Skilled migration
- Citizenship matters
- Visa refusals and cancellations
- Administrative Review Tribunal matters
- Migration advice and strategy
The level of assistance required will depend on your individual circumstances and the type of matter involved.
Application Preparation and Communication
Migration applications can involve detailed forms, supporting evidence and strict requirements.
A Registered Migration Agent can assist with preparing and reviewing relevant documentation, communicating with the Department of Home Affairs where authorised, and keeping you informed about material developments in your matter.
The Code specifically requires migration agents to keep clients informed about the progress of immigration matters.
Professional and Ethical Standards
Registered Migration Agents are regulated by the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (OMARA) and must comply with the Migration Agents Code of Conduct.
The Code requires migration agents to act professionally, competently, diligently, ethically, honestly and with integrity.
These obligations are designed to protect clients and support the integrity of Australia’s immigration advice industry.
Understanding Risks and Requirements
A Registered Migration Agent can help you understand the requirements that apply to your matter and identify potential issues before an application or other migration process is undertaken.
No migration professional can guarantee that a visa, review or other migration decision will be successful. Outcomes are determined by the relevant government decision-maker and depend on the applicable law and the circumstances of each case.
Review of Migration Decisions
If you receive a visa refusal or cancellation decision, you may have options to seek review depending on the circumstances.
A Registered Migration Agent can advise you about available review options, relevant requirements and applicable time limits, including matters that may be reviewable by the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART).
Review rights and time limits vary, so obtaining advice promptly after receiving a decision can be important.
Clear and Personalised Advice
A Registered Migration Agent can explain your options in plain language and provide advice based on your individual circumstances.
