MARA Registered Migration Agent · Australia-wide
Australian Immigration Consultants is led by a MARA-registered migration agent helping skilled workers, partners, families, students, and employers navigate the Australian visa system — from your first eligibility check through to visa grant.
About us
Australian Immigration Consultants was founded by a registered migration agent who saw too many strong applications rejected over avoidable paperwork errors. We've since built a focused migration practice, supporting individuals, families, and employers through every stage of the Australian visa process.
Unlike unregistered "visa advisors," your case is handled directly by a consultant registered with the Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA, registration number 2619225) and bound by the Code of Conduct set out in the Migration Act 1958. That means your case is handled by someone qualified, insured, and directly accountable for the advice they give you — not a call centre reading from a script.
We work with clients applying from onshore and offshore, across skilled migration, partner and family visas, employer sponsorship, student pathways, and visa refusals, with consultations available in person in Melbourne or by video call anywhere in the world.
Book your free assessment →Why choose us
Most visa refusals aren't about eligibility — they're about incomplete evidence, missed deadlines, or the wrong visa subclass chosen from the start.
MARA registration means legal accountability, professional indemnity insurance, and ongoing compliance obligations that unregistered advisors simply don't have.
We know exactly which documents each subclass requires, so your file goes in complete the first time instead of sitting in a request-for-information queue.
You receive an itemised, fixed-fee quote before any work begins — no hourly billing, no surprise charges partway through your case.
Careful eligibility screening before lodgement means we only proceed once we're confident your case meets the criteria.
Support is available in Mandarin, Hindi, Punjabi, Vietnamese, and Tagalog alongside English.
In-person consultations in Melbourne, and video consultations for clients anywhere in Australia or overseas.
Our visa services
Every visa subclass has its own eligibility criteria, evidence requirements, and processing timeline. Below is an overview — your free assessment will confirm exactly which pathway fits your situation.
For applicants with an occupation on the skilled occupation list who want to live and work in Australia permanently, with or without state or territory nomination. We manage your points test, skills assessment liaison, and Expression of Interest (EOI) strategy to maximise your invitation chances.
Check my eligibilityFor married and de facto partners, prospective marriage partners, and eligible family members. We build the relationship evidence file — joint finances, cohabitation history, and statutory declarations — that most refused partner visa applications are missing.
Check my eligibilityFor businesses sponsoring overseas talent and the employees they're sponsoring. We manage Standard Business Sponsorship applications, occupation nomination, and the visa application itself, keeping both employer and employee compliant throughout.
Check my eligibilityFor prospective students and recent graduates. We help select a course aligned with your goals, prepare a strong Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) statement, and guide graduates through the post-study 485 visa application.
Check my eligibilityFor parents of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens. We explain the real difference between contributory and non-contributory pathways — including cost and wait time — so you can choose with full information.
Check my eligibilityIf your visa has been refused or cancelled, time limits for review are short and unforgiving. We assess your refusal letter, identify what can realistically be argued at the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, and prepare submissions and evidence on your behalf.
