What kind of help do you need?

Australian visas fall into a few broad categories. Here's a quick guide to where yours fits.

Skilled migration

Points-tested, employer-sponsored and regional work visas, including subclass 189, 190 and 482.

Partner & family

Partner, prospective marriage, parent and child visas — applying from inside or outside Australia.

Student

Student visas, extensions and conditions, plus graduate and post-study work options.

Business / investor

Business innovation, investor streams and talent visas for founders, executives and investors.

Citizenship

Citizenship by conferral or descent, the citizenship test, and resuming Australian citizenship.

Visa refusals & appeals

Refusals, cancellations and Administrative Review Tribunal appeals — where a lawyer often matters most.

Agent or lawyer — what's the difference?

Anyone who charges for Australian immigration assistance must be either a registered migration agent or an Australian legal practitioner. Which one you need depends on your matter — and the difference matters most when something has gone wrong.

See all immigration lawyers

Registered migration agent

Regulated by the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (OMARA) and identified by a seven-digit MARN, shown on every profile here. Often the more economical choice for straightforward applications.

Best for skilled, partner, student and visitor visa applications, and employer sponsorships

Immigration lawyer

An Australian legal practitioner licensed by their state's legal admissions body, who can also act in court and tribunal proceedings. Those listed here appear on state law society registers.

Best for visa refusals, cancellations, Administrative Review Tribunal appeals and complex cases

We refresh listings from the public registers, but a registration can lapse or change, so always confirm a practitioner's current status before engaging them.

How VisaMatch works

Independent, and honest about it

Every agent and lawyer on VisaMatch is sourced from Australia's official public registers, not from who pays us. Listings are currently free, and search results are ordered neutrally, no one can pay to rank higher. We are a directory, not a migration agent, so we don't give visa advice or take a cut of your case.
