Where Can I Find a List of Registered Professionals Who Can Assist With Visa Applications?

If you need help with an Australian visa application, the most reliable place to find a registered migration agent Australia is the official register maintained by the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (OMARA). OMARA states that its public register is the authoritative source for finding an Australian registered migration agent. You can search by name, Migration Agent Registration Number (MARN), business name or location.

A registered migration agent can provide immigration assistance such as advising on visa options, helping prepare and lodge visa applications, and communicating with the Department of Home Affairs on your behalf. However, you do not have to use a migration agent to lodge a visa application yourself. If you decide to obtain professional assistance, checking the agent's current registration before engaging them is an important first step.

When you find a registered agent, do more than check the name. Consider whether the professional has experience with your particular visa type, ask about the services they will provide, review their written service agreement and understand the fees and other costs before signing. OMARA also recommends checking whether an agent has been disciplined and considering their skills, experience and communication arrangements.

How to Find a Registered Migration Agent in Australia

The OMARA Register allows you to search for registered migration agents using information such as their given name, family name, MARN, business name or business location. You do not need to complete every field. If you already know an agent's MARN, you can search using that number. If you are looking for a professional in a particular city, suburb or postcode, the location search can help narrow the results.

What to Check	Why It Matters
Current registration	Confirms that the person appears on the official OMARA Register.
MARN	Provides a unique registration number that can be used to identify an agent.
Visa experience	Helps you assess whether the agent has experience with your particular visa type.
Service agreement	Sets out the services, costs, payment arrangements and other agreed terms.
Disciplinary history	Allows you to check relevant disciplinary decisions before making your choice.

If you are comparing an Australian immigration consultant or visa professional, remember that titles such as “visa agent” or “immigration consultant” do not by themselves establish OMARA registration. Use the official Register to verify a migration agent's status before engaging them.

What Should I Ask a Migration Agent Before Hiring Them?

Before choosing a migration agent for a visa application Australia matter, ask about their experience with the visa you intend to apply for, the work they will personally undertake and the likely stages of the application. OMARA recommends asking about an agent's skills and experience, including their experience with the type of visa you want to apply for. You can also ask for advice about your prospects in writing.

You should also understand the financial arrangements. Before work begins, a registered migration agent must provide a written service agreement that sets out the services and relevant costs.
