The offences involved fraudulent conduct by the woman between December 2014 and December 2017. They indicated that she was providing false documents to her clients purporting to be from the Department of Home Affairs in order to convince clients they had been granted visas or, in some instances, to pay over $15,000 as a security for a supposed visa grant.

The woman continued to represent herself as a registered migration agent after her registration was cancelled in April 2016.

As a result of her conduct, some of her clients became unlawful in Australia despite believing they held valid visas, some only discovering the fraud after attempting to return to Australia from offshore and being denied boarding because they did not hold a valid visa.
