Visa and immigration lawyers in Australia
VisaMatch lists 151 immigration lawyers across Australia, drawn from the state law society registers. Immigration lawyers, sometimes called visa lawyers, are Australian legal practitioners: unlike registered migration agents, they can act in court as well as prepare and lodge visa applications, which is why they are the usual choice for visa refusals, cancellations and Administrative Review Tribunal (ART, formerly the AAT) appeals. Immigration law is federal, so a lawyer based anywhere in Australia can act for you; each profile shows its source register, the date it was checked, and Accredited Specialist status where held.
Immigration lawyer or migration agent?
The difference is the professional's qualification, not the quality of help. A registered migration agent is regulated by OMARA and identified by a seven-digit MARN; for a straightforward application an agent is often the more economical choice. An immigration lawyer can do the same preparation work and, in addition, represent you in court. For the consolidated national list of specialists, see Accredited Specialists in Immigration Law, or search the full register of agents and lawyers.
