When planning to move or study in Australia, then understanding key terms related to migration and education assistance can make your path clearer and less stressful. Let’s break down these terms to help you make informed decisions, with similar terms noted for easy comparison.
Education and Immigration Professionals
- Education Consultants: These Professionals are only allowed to provide advice and guidance to students, parents of students, or educational institutions. Generally, they help students choose suitable courses and institutions and guide students through the student visa application.
- Registered Migration Agents: These Professionals must be registered with the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA) and guide individuals through the migration process. They can only provide advice on immigration law, assist with visa applications, and help organise documentation. They may also provide education advice on study.
- Lawyer: These Professionals provide advice and guidance in all areas of law, including immigration law. They generally offer legal representation for more complex visa issues, such as Administrative Review Tribunal appeals, Federal court matters, citizenship applications, and other legal challenges. Unlike migration agents, only lawyers can represent clients in the Federal Court and provide advice on other areas of law.
