Longest-registered visa refusal & appeal migration agents

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.

Common questions

What happened to the AAT?
The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) and the Immigration Assessment Authority (IAA) were both replaced by the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) on 14 October 2024. Migration decisions made on or after that date are reviewed by the ART. The standard review deadline is approximately 28 days from notification — missing it permanently extinguishes review rights, so a registered agent's first conversation should happen the week the refusal arrives.
Should I appeal myself or use an agent?
Refusal cases involve evidence assessment, document submission strategy, hearing preparation, and sometimes Section 359A response drafting. A registered agent can assess whether a review has realistic prospects before you commit to the fee, and manage deadlines that are unforgiving if missed. Pricing varies — Migratio's matching surfaces fee quotes within minutes.
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 routes a structured brief to up to three MARA-registered agents who specialise in your visa type and state. They review your case and respond with their consultation fee. You compare responses and choose. Free for applicants — agents pay a platform fee only after you select them.
What does it cost to use Migratio?
Nothing for applicants. You pay only the consultation fee charged by the agent you choose, plus any agent service fees if you engage them for your full application. Migratio's platform fee is paid by the agent, not by you.
