Why use a Registered Migration Agent?
As a Registered Migration Agent (MARN 0636733), Maryanne Gruar and her team are required to adhere to the regulations set out by the Migrations Agents Registration Authority (MARA) in its Code of Conduct. The Code is intended to regulate the conduct of Australian migration agents and a full copy of the Code of Conduct is available at www.themara.com.au
Specifically, it makes good sense to choose a Registered Migration Agent because:
- Registered Migration Agents have completed a comprehensive course in Australia Immigration Law, passed a character test and must adhere to the Code of Conduct;
- Registered Migration Agents must maintain their registration annually and attend professional development seminars. Such training awards each agent points and each agent must accrue given point levels to re-registration. This is not required of unregistered agents;
- Each Registered Migration Agent must have up-to-date access to the Migration Act and Migration Regulations. Knowledge of these complicated documents is essential if an agent is to competently address the requirements for each different visa;
- Registered Migration Agents have the experience to minimise the delays that occur through lack of understanding of migration law. By partnering with such an agent, you maximise your chance of gaining your visa in the first time;
- Ultimately, the Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) recommends that applicants considering using an agent should employ the services of a registered migration agent
Whether you are interested in skilled migration or seek an Australian visa to relocate or emigrate with a partner - or for any reason - True Blue Migration’s MARA registration gives you peace of mind that your Australian immigration will be professionally managed.
