Why use a Registered Migration Agent?

To be registered with Australia’s Migration Agents Registration Authority and gain reciprocal registration in New Zealand, an agent practising in Australia has to prove they are knowledgeable about Australian migration law and procedures.  They must undertake ongoing professional development activities to remain registered, be of good character and bound by the Migration Agents’ Code of Conduct.

Unregistered agents are breaking the law if they practice in Australia; and are not bound by MARA’s high standards and ethics if they practice outside Australia.
