Visa applications are detailed and the rules change often. Immigration lawyers and registered migration agents check eligibility, prepare evidence and lodge applications, and represent people when a visa is refused or cancelled. Lawyers can also take matters to court on questions of law, which migration agents cannot. Check that anyone giving immigration assistance is a practising lawyer or a registered migration agent.
Australia's visa system is complex and changes often. Mistakes can be costly and hard to undo.
Migration is federal, under the Migration Act 1958, administered by the Department of Home Affairs, with review by the Administrative Review Tribunal.
Understand the next step
Advice depends on the pathway, current status, location and application history. Disclose earlier refusals and cancellations. Home Affairs identifies registered migration agents, legal practitioners and certain exempt people as authorised providers of immigration assistance; confirm your adviser’s professional status.
Dandenong, Frankston, Cranbourne and Moorabbin span a broad search area. A firm’s suburb, meeting options and experience with your matter are more informative than the South East Melbourne label alone.
For immigration & visas, ask which parts of the work the firm handles itself and whether it has relevant VIC experience. Let the lawyer know if a property, employer, other party or existing proceeding is outside South East Melbourne. Your home address alone does not determine the applicable process.
Gather identity documents, visa records, decision letters and application history. Confirm who will give the advice and their scope of work.
Ask which requirements and evidence need assessment, including translations or reports. No provider can guarantee the application outcome.
Agree who receives correspondence and tracks requests. Keep a complete copy of lodged material and understand what you approve before submission.
Separate professional fees from government charges, translations and other expenses. Preparing an application does not necessarily include a review or court proceeding.
Ask for a written scope identifying the work you are authorising, the person responsible and when costs will be reviewed. If you only want advice on one step, say so before the firm begins wider work.
Provide expiry dates and the entire decision letter immediately. Review rights and dates depend on the particular decision and circumstances.

Good to know
Both can prepare and lodge visa applications. For refusals, cancellations and court appeals, or where there are criminal or character issues, an immigration lawyer is usually the better choice.
Many refusals can be reviewed by the Administrative Review Tribunal, but strict and short deadlines apply. Get advice as soon as you receive the decision.
Processing times vary and change often. A complete application with strong evidence avoids delays caused by requests for more information.
