Why Use A Registered Agent Or Migration Lawyer?
While using a migration agent isn't mandatory for visa applications, many individuals prefer to enlist the services of a trusted professional for permanent residency or citizenship applications.
Only Registered Migration Agents (RMAs) and Lawyers can advise on immigration visas
The Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (OMARA) keeps an up-to-date list of Registered Migration Agents and Lawyers, who can provide services to those seeking an Australian migration services.
At Migration Alliance, all our members are Registered Migration Agents and Lawyers - and we are passionate about strengthening our profession and ensuring continued positive outcomes for the profession.
Visa applications - the role of migration agents and lawyers
Australian migration agents - in other words, anyone who provides assistance with applications for immigration visas or offers migration advice - must be registered by the Office of the MARA.
Registered Migration Agents and Migration Lawyers can perform a range of duties, including advising on requirements for various migration visas, assisting applicants with the lodgement of a visa application and liaising with the Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) on behalf of a visa applicant - usually for a fee.
In Australia, it is illegal for anyone to give migration advice - such as for a citizenship application or a permanent residency visa - without being registered by the Office of the MARA. Individuals who ignore this law can face heavy penalties.
Australian migration agents can apply for registration within 12 months of completing the Graduate Certificate in Australian Migration Law & Practice, as well as passing all the exams associated with this certification program.
Once registration has been confirmed, migration agents can then join Migration Alliance.
All Australian migration agents must adhere to a strict code of conduct, which specifies the ethical and professional standards for Registered Migration Agents.
This code of conduct specifies a migration agent's obligations to their clients, fees and charges, record keeping, management and financial duties, as well as detailed standards of professional conduct and relations between Registered Migration Agents.
