Our Migration and Immigration Lawyers Hold Professional Qualifications
Our team of lawyers meet all official requirements set by the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (OMARA).
A lawyer practising in migration and immigration law must:
- Hold an unrestricted practising certificate
- Receive supervision where appropriate
- Maintain professional knowledge and competence in all aspects of migration law, policy, practice and procedure
- Work within a legal practice
Immigration lawyers complete extensive legal education. They earn a law degree from a recognised university and must pass strict exams to be admitted to the Supreme Court in their state. This training gives them a strong understanding of Australian law, not just immigration law, but also related areas such as commercial, employment, family and criminal law. Because of this, they can manage complex legal matters, provide strategic advice and represent clients at all levels, including with government agencies, the Tribunal and the Federal Courts if required.
Migration agents, on the other hand, focus mainly on assisting with immigration applications. To do this, they complete a one year Graduate Diploma in Migration Law and must be registered with the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (OMARA).
With our immigration lawyers, you can be confident you are receiving advice from experienced and qualified legal professionals.
