Migration is one of the biggest decisions you will ever make.

What to expect
Migration law is complex, and pathways are not always clear-cut.
We are both client-first and behaviour-first. Wherever you sit in your journey, here is what you can expect from us.
- 01
Straight talk, no jargon
We will always be truthful and transparent about your options, explained plainly, at a pace that suits you.
- 02
The full picture
Where more than one pathway exists, we will set out the pros and cons of each so you can decide with confidence.
- 03
No pressure, ever
We will not overpromise, oversell, pressure sell or mislead you about what is realistically available to you.
- 04
Everything in writing
Our scope of engagement, terms and fees are set out in a written, legally enforceable agreement, and we deliver exactly to it.
- 05
We safeguard your information
Migration advice is inherently personal. Protecting your personal and sensitive information is not a compliance afterthought, it is central to how we work.
- 06
Zero tolerance for fraud or deception
We are advocates for ethical, lawful and compliant migration, with zero tolerance for fraud, misleading conduct, or concealment of information.
Always provided
We will always provide you a copy of the Consumer Guide Registered Migration Agents. This is the plain-English guide to what a registered migration agent does, and the rules we must follow when helping you.
If you do not think we are right for you, do not give up on your migration aspirations. You can search for another Registered Migration Agent here.

Selecting an agent
Look for rapport, communication and trust.
Before selecting a Registered Migration Agent you should ensure you have good rapport, communication and trust with the agent.
All agents need to be registered with the Office of Migration Agents Registration Authority (OMARA) and the agent should be able to quote to you their registration number. Our number, known as MARN is 2619639. Lawyers are also permitted to give migration advice.
Anyone giving migration advice without being registered or legally qualified is breaking the law.

Safeguarding your information
Your information. Your peace of mind.
Migration advice is inherently personal. Registered Migration Agents must collect sensitive information such as citizenship, residency, financial, health, education and even criminal history. We often also need to collect details about your partner, family members and associates. Such information is needed to assess your migration options and build visa applications that are complete, accurate, truthful and compliant.

Health Insurance in Australia
Medicare might not cover you
Medicare is Australia's publicly funded healthcare system. It gives eligible people free or subsidised access to doctors, hospitals, medicines and other benefits. It is generally available to Australian citizens, permanent residents and New Zealand citizens, along with some temporary residents who have applied for permanent residency, such as certain partner visa applicants. There are some exceptions, such as visitors from countries with a reciprocal health care system, where limited Medicare coverage is offered.
Tourists and most temporary visa holders, including international students and skilled temporary workers, usually are not eligible, so they need to arrange their own insurance cover, such as travel insurance and private health insurance.
International students in Australia on a student visa must hold Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the entire duration of their stay. More details can be found here.
To check your eligibility for Medicare, visit Services Australia. We can also help by providing advice or referring you to our partners offering private health insurance services.
