Australian Migration Agency Accreditations
Australian Immigration Lawyers are bound by the ethics, standards and regulations of the following professional industry bodies
Migration Institute of Australia
The Migration Institute of Australia represents professional Registered Migration Agents (RMAs) across Australia and overseas. These professionals provide migration advice and education recruitment services to prospective migrants, workers, students, families and humanitarian entrants, and to employers seeking to obtain skilled overseas workers. They are the nation’s leading professional association for migration agents and all members are bound by a responsibility to their clients and the Australian community to act abiding by ethical professional conduct and in a manner which at all times enhances the integrity of the migration advice profession and the Institute.

Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (OMARA)
The Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (OMARA) is an office of the Department of Immigration and Border Protection. As the industry regulator for Australian migration agent services we administer a comprehensive regulatory framework, including relevant provisions of the Migration Act 1958.
Our main objectives are to ensure that:
- clients needing migration services understand their rights
- registered migration agents understand their obligations
- only suitable people are registered as agents and that unsuitable people are refused registration or re-registration
- agents maintain the knowledge and skills needed to provide accurate and timely advice to their clients
- agents are monitored for integrity of conduct and quality of immigration assistance
- clients of registered or formerly registered agents have an effective way to complain
- we handle complaints efficiently

The Law Society of NSW act as the voice of the legal profession, representing the interests of over 27,000 members, encouraging debate and actively driving law reform issues through policy submissions and open dialogue with Governments, parliamentary bodies, the Courts and the Attorney General’s Department. We set and enforce professional standards, license solicitors to practise, investigate complaints and administer discipline to ensure that both the community and the profession are properly served by ethical and responsible solicitors. We guide, unite and support our members in their professional and personal lives so that they can provide a better service for their clients and uphold the integrity of the profession, and ensure the general public has appropriate access to justice and can be easily connected to members of the profession when they require legal advice.
