What a first consultation costs in Queensland

The median consultation fee quoted to applicants in Queensland is $220. Half of all quotes fall between $210 and $250. 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.

Based on 108 quotes from 7 agents based in Queensland, 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 Queensland

Migration Queensland runs separate Registration of Interest streams for onshore and offshore applicants, and for the statewide subclass 190 versus the regional subclass 491. Onshore applicants must already be living and working in the relevant part of Queensland for a set period before registering — nine months in the nominated occupation for the 190, six months in regional Queensland for the 491 — and Queensland weighs factors such as qualifications, work experience, salary, location of employment, age, English and partner skills when selecting who to invite from eligible registrations. Queensland maintains its own onshore and offshore skilled occupation lists, separate from the national list.

Nominates for: 190, 491

What Migration Queensland (Business and Skilled Migration Queensland), a business unit of Trade and Investment Queensland asks for:

For subclass 491 purposes, regional Queensland is everywhere in the state outside Greater Brisbane. The Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast carry Category 2 regional status but remain within the regional designation. Brisbane itself is not a designated regional area.

Programme details as at 2026-08-19, from Migration Queensland (Business and Skilled Migration Queensland), a business unit of Trade and Investment Queensland. 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 Queensland

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.
