Migration agent, immigration consultant or lawyer? Check before you book in Tarneit

  • Migration agents are also called immigration agents, visa agents or immigration consultants. Under Australian law, only registered migration agents and legal practitioners can charge you for visa help, and there's no separate licence for consultants, so a consultant in Tarneit who charges for it should have a MARN.
  • Look up the agent's MARN on the official register. Every agent page on Migratio shows the MARN.
  • Looking for an immigration lawyer in Tarneit? Since 22 March 2021, Australian lawyers can give immigration help as part of their legal practice without registering, so lawyers don't appear on that register. Check a lawyer with the legal professional body in Victoria.
  • Your registered agent must give you the Consumer Guide.
  • Agents must keep money you pay in advance in a separate account until they provide their services, and charge fees that are fair for the work.
  • Warning signs, according to Home Affairs: no MARN, no contract with terms and conditions or no receipt, a promised visa outcome, an extra fee to have the visa issued, or payment through a private transfer or personal bank account.

What a first consultation costs in Tarneit

The median consultation fee quoted to applicants in Victoria is $200. Half of all quotes fall between $150 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.

Fewer than five Tarneit agents have quoted through Migratio, so these figures cover Victoria: 152 quotes from 12 agents, quoted on real applicant briefs in the twelve months to 2026-11-01. Every quote is written by the agent for a specific applicant; Migratio does not set or suggest fees.

Longest-registered migration agents in Tarneit

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.

State nomination in Victoria

Victoria nominates through Live in Melbourne with separate published criteria for onshore and offshore applicants rather than one general test. Onshore applicants who hold a temporary visa must already be living and working in a skilled role in regional Victoria to be considered, and applicants already living in another state or territory are not eligible for Victorian nomination at all. Offshore applicants can register for either subclass without first working in Victoria, but must show a genuine intention to settle in Victoria (190) or regional Victoria (491) after the visa is granted. The subclass 190 nominates for anywhere in Victoria including Melbourne; the 491 is restricted to regional Victoria.

Nominates for: 190, 491

What Skilled and Business Migration Program, Victorian Government Department of Jobs, Skills, Industry and Regions asks for:

  • a valid skills assessment in an occupation on Victoria's eligible skilled occupation list
  • at least 65 points on the Department of Home Affairs points test, including points for state nomination
  • for onshore temporary-visa holders, living and working in a skilled role in regional Victoria at the time of application
  • for offshore applicants, evidence of a genuine intention to live and work in Victoria (190) or regional Victoria (491) after the visa is granted
  • not currently living in an Australian state or territory other than Victoria

For subclass 491 purposes, regional Victoria is everywhere in the state outside Greater Melbourne. Geelong carries Category 2 regional status but remains within the regional designation. Melbourne itself is not a designated regional area.

Programme details as at 2026-08-19, from Skilled and Business Migration Program, Victorian Government Department of Jobs, Skills, Industry and Regions. 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.

Do I need an agent who is actually based in Tarneit?
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 Victoria employer or state nomination. Migratio lists Tarneit agents first here, and every Victoria agent at /agents/in/vic.
How quickly do agents respond to Victoria applicants?
In the last 90 days, 31 applicants in Victoria submitted a brief through Migratio and 27 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.
Is an immigration consultant in Tarneit the same as a migration agent?
In Australia, only registered migration agents and legal practitioners can lawfully charge you for immigration assistance, according to Home Affairs, and there's no separate licence for immigration consultants. A consultant who charges for visa help in Tarneit should have a MARN you can check on the official register, as every agent listed on this page does.
Can I use an immigration lawyer in Tarneit instead of a migration agent?
Yes. Since 22 March 2021, Australian lawyers can give immigration assistance as part of their legal practice without registering as migration agents, so they don't appear on the register of migration agents. Check a lawyer with the legal professional body in Victoria. The agents on this page are registered migration agents.
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.
