What a first consultation costs in Hornsby

The median consultation fee quoted to applicants in New South Wales is $200. Half of all quotes fall between $175 and $315. 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.

Fewer than five Hornsby agents have quoted through Migratio, so these figures cover New South Wales: 318 quotes from 11 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 New South Wales

NSW runs its programme through Investment NSW rather than a separate portal for expressions of interest — applicants lodge an Expression of Interest in SkillSelect naming NSW as their preferred state. NSW keeps its own Skills List, assessed at the occupation level, and this list differs between the statewide subclass 190 and the regional subclass 491. The 491 pathway itself has several distinct routes — current employment in regional NSW, an invitation based on NSW residence, or recent graduation from a regional NSW institution — rather than a single set of criteria.

Nominates for: 190, 491

What Investment NSW (NSW Government) asks for:

For subclass 491 purposes, regional NSW is everywhere in the state outside Greater Sydney. Newcastle/Lake Macquarie and Wollongong/Illawarra carry a lesser Category 2 regional status than the rest of regional NSW, but both remain outside Greater Sydney and so are eligible for the 491 pathway. Sydney itself is not a designated regional area.

Programme details as at 2026-08-19, from Investment NSW (NSW Government). 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.

The median consultation fee quoted to applicants in New South Wales through Migratio is $200, with half of quotes between $175 and $315 (318 quotes from 11 agents in the twelve months to 2026-10-01). That covers a first paid conversation; a full application is priced separately and commonly runs from about $2,500 for a simple matter to $4,000–$8,000 for a partner visa.
How many migration agents are there in Hornsby?

Do I need an agent who is actually based in Hornsby?
No. Home Affairs lodgement is entirely online and most consultations run by video or phone, so a registered agent anywhere in Australia can act for you. A local agent helps if you want to meet in person or your matter involves a New South Wales employer or state nomination. Migratio lists Hornsby agents first here, and every New South Wales agent at /agents/in/nsw.
How quickly do agents respond to New South Wales applicants?
In the last 90 days, 19 applicants in New South Wales submitted a brief through Migratio and 19 of them had at least one registered agent confirm with a consultation fee — usually the same day, because agents whose practice matches a brief are notified the moment it is submitted.
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.
