Migration advice in Australia is a regulated profession, not an unregulated service industry — and that distinction matters more than most consumers of migration services realise. Anyone providing immigration assistance for a fee must generally be a Registered Migration Agent, governed by the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (OMARA) and bound by the Migration Agents’ Code of Conduct, or be an appropriately qualified legal practitioner.
MYAC provides specialised immigration advice and visa services to clients globally, covering both temporary and permanent entry to Australia for expatriates, executives and other professionals. Our registered agents are required to maintain a thorough, current understanding of migration law and process, and to conduct every aspect of their professional practice in accordance with the Code.
For clients, that regulatory framework provides real, practical protections: a formal complaints process if something goes wrong, defined professional and ethical obligations an agent must meet, and a public register that lets anyone verify an agent’s registration status before engaging them.
