Migration agents in Perth — what to look for

Choosing a migration agent in Perth is one of the most important decisions you will make in your visa journey. The Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA) regulates the profession in Australia — only MARA registered agents (or Australian legal practitioners with an unrestricted practising certificate) can provide immigration advice for a fee.

When evaluating a Perth migration agent, we recommend you check:

  • Their Migration Agents Registration Number (MARN) — visible on their website and verifiable on the OMARA public register;
  • Whether they have ever been the subject of disciplinary action (also publicly visible);
  • Whether they provide a written, itemised fee quote before you engage them;
  • Whether they will give an honest assessment of your eligibility — including telling you when an application has limited prospects.

Visa pathways relevant to Perth and Western Australia

Skilled migration in WA

Western Australia is a designated regional area for the purposes of the subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional visa, which is one of the most active GSM pathways in 2026. The WA Government also runs an active subclass 190 nomination program. Occupations in healthcare, construction, mining, education, engineering and agriculture are well-represented on WA's pre-selected occupation list.

International students at WA institutions

Perth hosts five universities — UWA, Curtin, ECU, Murdoch and Notre Dame — plus a strong vocational education sector. Studying in Perth carries the regional bonus for both post-study work (subclass 485 PHEW) and the General Skilled Migration points test.

Partner, family and parent visas

Family visa applications are processed federally and are not state-specific. We work with onshore partner (820/801) and offshore partner (309/100) clients across Australia, but Perth-based applicants benefit from local support and document witnessing.

Employer sponsorship in WA

The Skills in Demand visa (subclass 482, replacing the 482 TSS) and the Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186) are heavily used in Perth's mining, health and engineering sectors. We assist employers with sponsorship accreditation and applicants with lodgement.

How a Perth visa consultation works

  1. Book a consultation via the form on this page, by phone, or by email.
  2. Initial 30-minute consultation — we review your situation, explain the realistic options, and answer your questions.
  3. Written quote — if you would like to proceed, we send you a written, itemised quote covering scope, fees and timeframes.
  4. Engagement — once you accept the quote, we sign an Australian Government Service Agreement and begin work.
  5. Lodgement and ongoing communication — regular updates as the application progresses.

Fees and what is included

We charge fixed professional fees for most visa matters, set out in writing before any work begins. The fee is in addition to the Australian Government's visa application charge (which is paid directly to the Department of Home Affairs) and any third-party costs such as health examinations, police checks and skills assessments.

Yes. Migration is federal law — a Perth-based MARA agent can assist with state nomination programs in any Australian state or territory. Where a state-specific connection is required (for example, residing in NSW for a NSW nomination), we advise on documentation rather than the lifestyle decision.
Western Australia is a designated regional area for the 491 visa, which is one of the most popular pathways. Skilled occupations on the WA state nomination list (190) attract strong demand. Mining, healthcare, construction, education and agriculture are well-represented. Student visa (subclass 500) at WA institutions is also a major pathway.
Yes — we offer in-person consultations at our Perth office, as well as video and phone consultations for clients elsewhere in Australia or overseas. The choice is yours.
We provide a written, itemised quote at the end of your initial consultation. Most visa matters are billed on a fixed-fee basis so you know the cost upfront. This complies with MARA Code of Conduct fee disclosure requirements.
