How to Find a Registered Migration Agent in Australia for Your Visa Application
Start with the official register and follow a short checklist..
Use only an OMARA-registered migration agent — Australian law and the Department of Home Affairs advise you to deal only with agents registered with the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (OMARA). (immi.homeaffairs.gov.au)
Search the Register of Migration Agents on OMARA’s portal (search by name, location or MARN) to confirm the agent’s registration and details. Use the OMARA public search tool on their site. (portal.mara.gov.au)
Appoint an agent formally with Form 956 (Appointment of a registered migration agent) once you’ve chosen one — the Department’s guidance and forms page explains this requirement. (immi.homeaffairs.gov.au)
Check the agent’s MARN, any disciplinary history, their fees and written engagement terms; OMARA provides tips and information on what to ask and expect. (mara.gov.au)
If you want additional, localized guidance (state-level services or recommendations), official state migration pages also direct you to use OMARA-registered agents. For example, NSW government guidance points to OMARA as the source to find registered agents. (nsw.gov.au)
Quick checklist to act now:
Go to the OMARA public search and look up the agent by name or MARN. (portal.mara.gov.au)
Ask the Agent for their MARN and proof of registration; verify it on OMARA.
Get a written engagement (scope, fees, refunds, timeline) before paying.
Complete and submit Form 956 in ImmiAccount to record the appointment. (immi.homeaffairs.gov.au)
Choosing the right Migration Agent is an important step when preparing your Australian Visa application. A Registered Migration Agent can provide professional guidance, help you understand your Visa options, and assist you throughout the application process
