What a first consultation costs in Australian Capital Territory

The median consultation fee quoted to applicants across Australia is $220. Half of all quotes fall between $150 and $275. Each agent's typical quote counts once, so one very active agent cannot move the figure.

That is the price of a first paid conversation — usually 30 to 60 minutes reviewing your situation, with the pathway, costs and timeline in writing afterwards. A full application engagement is priced separately by the agent and commonly runs from roughly $2,500 for a straightforward student or visitor matter to $4,000–$8,000 for a partner visa file.

Too few Australian Capital Territory agents have quoted through Migratio for a local figure, so these are the national numbers: 842 quotes from 58 agents, quoted on real applicant briefs in the twelve months to 2026-10-01. Every quote is written by the agent for a specific applicant; Migratio does not set or suggest fees.

State nomination in Australian Capital Territory

The ACT is the only jurisdiction that does not select nominees mainly by the federal SkillSelect points ranking. Instead every applicant is scored on the Canberra Matrix, a separate ACT-run points system covering skilled employment in Canberra, English level, ACT residence or study history, qualifications, business activity or investment, and close family ties in the Territory — invitations go out from the top of that ranking, for either the subclass 190 or the subclass 491. An applicant can only submit a Matrix for an occupation that appears on the ACT Nominated Migration Program Occupation List, or one they are currently employed in from that list.

Nominates for: 190, 491

What ACT Government, administered by the Chief Minister, Treasury and Economic Development Directorate, under the Canberra Matrix asks for:

The whole of the ACT is a designated regional area for subclass 491 purposes — Canberra carries Category 2 regional status rather than being excluded the way Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane are. This is a federal migration designation; the Canberra Matrix itself does not apply a different geography test between the 190 and 491, only different Matrix scoring.

Programme details as at 2026-08-19, from ACT Government, administered by the Chief Minister, Treasury and Economic Development Directorate, under the Canberra Matrix. Nomination criteria and occupation lists change frequently — confirm the current position on the official site before relying on it. Whether a particular situation fits a nomination pathway is a question for a MARA-registered agent.

Longest-registered migration agents in Australian Capital Territory

Registration year is derived from each agent's MARN — the first two digits encode the year they first registered with OMARA. Longer registration means more years practising under the regulator's Code of Conduct, though the right specialisation matters more than tenure alone.

What does MARA-registered mean?
MARA (the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority, sitting within Home Affairs as OMARA) is the federal regulator for Australian migration agents. Registration requires a Graduate Diploma in Australian Migration Law and Practice, ongoing CPD, professional indemnity insurance, and adherence to a binding Code of Conduct. Every agent listed on Migratio is checked against the public MARA register when our data is refreshed — always verify current registration on the official OMARA register.
How does Migratio's matching work?
Tell us about your visa situation once. Migratio sends your brief to every registered agent whose practice matches your visa type and state; agents who want the case confirm within minutes with their consultation fee, and you compare and book the one you prefer. Free for applicants — you pay only the consultation fee of the agent you book, and the platform fee comes out of that fee, not on top of it.
What does it cost to use Migratio?
Nothing for applicants. You pay only the consultation fee charged by the agent you book — across Migratio the median quoted consult is about $220 (most fall between $150 and $275) — plus any agent service fees if you later engage them for your full application. Migratio's platform fee is deducted from the agent's consultation fee, not added to it.
