Why use a Registered Migration Agent

 

All of our Migration Agents are registered with the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (OMARA) and are qualified to provide Australian Migration advice. Our agents continue to keep their skills and knowledge in Australian Immigration law updated and relevant by completing Continuing Professional Development (CPD) study each year, and by having access to our up-to-date professional library which includes the latest Migration Regulations, Migration Act, Migration Policy, Ministerial Instruments, etc.

André Burger & Associates operates within the Code of Conduct guidelines laid down by the industry body.

By using a Register Migration Agent you will:

· receive up to date information on the current Australian Migration Regulations;

Did you know that people operating overseas do not have to be Registered. As such anybody operating outside of Australia can give Migration assistance even if they have no training, education or knowledge of the Australian Immigration System. Don’t risk your Australian Immigration process to anyone but a Registered Migration Agent.
