Australian Immigration Consultants: Do You Need One?

Last Update

While the thought of studying, working, or becoming a permanent resident (and eventually, a citizen) of Australia sounds real exciting, the process can be stressful and overwhelming.

So a thought struck you – do I need to hire a professional to help me navigate the complexities of a migration application in Australia? Why do I have to, and what exactly do I look for in an Australian immigration consultant? Let’s talk about these all in this blog post.

What Does an Australian Immigration Consultant Do?

Australian immigration consultants are essentially migration agents who are accredited by or registered under the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (OMARA). 

They are Australian immigration professionals who assist with visa applications, appeals, and giving legal advice on current immigration policies. 

Only registered migration agents and legal practitioners are authorised to provide sound legal and immigration assistance to those who need them the most.

Why Hire an Immigration Consultant in Australia?

So why should you hire and pay for the assistance of an Australian immigration consultant? Simple: they help ensure your application is complete, accurate, and therefore increase your chances of getting a visa grant. 

What is their process? First, you can schedule an appointment with a registered migration agent. You can ask any concern you may have or state your case during this initial phase. 

Your consultant will then address your questions, assess your overall eligibility, and present you with a solution tailored to your unique situation. 

If your migration agent finds that you don’t fit the requirements of the visa you’re initially aiming for, they can also provide visa alternatives that you can both explore. 

With all that being said, the assistance of an Australian migration consultant can prove to be indispensable for maximising your chances of visa success.

Benefits of Hiring an Australian Immigration Consultant

Applying for a work visa or simply learning more about Australian immigration laws can definitely be done without help.

This is why hiring an Australian immigration consultant can prove to be a cost-effective and worthwhile choice for aspiring migrants like you. 

If you need more reasons to hire a registered migration agent or immigration lawyer in Australia, read on:

  • They are honest and transparent regarding your realistic chances of obtaining a visa.
  • Australian migration agents provide accurate and up-to-date immigration advice.
  • Hands-on support in keeping you informed of your visa application’s progress.
  • Licensed professionals who you can expect to act in accordance with the law, your interests, and safeguard your privacy.
  • They give legally binding written statements prior to rendering the service, and later provide an invoice after the service.
  • They are legally obligated to provide estimated costs and fees, as well as keep funds separately in a bank account, should you decide to pay in advance.
