Services
Representation, organised by pipeline
Five service lines, one method: screen the constraints, put the strategy in writing, then execute in stages. Fees are quoted at consultation for your specific matter.
Students and graduates
Student (500) and Temporary Graduate (485) visas
The student-to-residence corridor is where sequencing errors cost the most. A course choice made casually at 22 can close a skilled pathway at 28. We advise on both ends: the visa in front of you and the position it leaves you in.
- Stream and eligibility review before anything is prepared
- Genuine student and course-alignment framing
- English requirement analysis
- Application preparation, lodgement and correspondence with the Department
- Conditions and compliance briefing after grant

Skilled migration
Points-tested pathways: 189, 190 and 491
General Skilled Migration is a competition, and the points table is only the start of it. Occupation choice, assessing authority, state nomination posture and timing all move the result. This is the pipeline our Strategy Report was built for.
- Skills assessment preparation and review
- Employment reference structuring
- Expression of Interest preparation and state nomination strategy
- Visa application preparation, lodgement and Departmental correspondence
- Risk review before every submission

Employer sponsored
Sponsorship, nomination and visa: 482, 186 and 494
Employer-sponsored matters are three linked applications, and a defect in one surfaces in the next. We act for sponsoring businesses and for applicants, on the full stack or on the stages you need.
- Employer eligibility and sponsorship assessment
- Nomination preparation, including occupation and salary positioning
- Visa application preparation and lodgement
- Transition strategy from temporary sponsorship to permanent residence
- Departmental correspondence throughout
Related guides: Subclass 482 and Subclass 186.
Visitor
Visitor visas (600)
Straightforward on paper, unforgiving in practice: a refused 600 sits on the record and complicates everything after it. We treat visitor matters with the same evidence discipline as a skilled application, particularly where there is a prior refusal or a thin travel history.
- Risk and evidence assessment before lodgement
- Genuine visitor framing and strong-ties evidence strategy
- Application preparation, lodgement and correspondence

Skills assessments
Standalone skills assessment engagements
The skills assessment decides which occupations, and therefore which visas, are open to you. We run standalone assessment engagements across the main authorities, aligned to the migration strategy rather than treated as an isolated form.
- ACS for ICT professionals, including RPL pathway guidance
- Engineers Australia, including CDR structure and career episode review
- VETASSESS professional and technical occupations
- TRA for trades, including Job Ready Program guidance
- ANMAC for nursing and midwifery
