Visa pathways we guide you through

We focus on four families of visas, deeply rather than dabbling in everything. Whichever fits, you get honest advice, a fixed fee, and one registered agent from first call to grant.

Subclass 189 · 190 · 491

Skilled migration & permanent residency

Points-tested pathways to permanent residency for skilled workers, based on your occupation, age, English, skills assessment and work experience.

The skilled program runs through SkillSelect: you lodge an Expression of Interest, and invitations go to the strongest profiles. The Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189) needs no sponsor. State or territory nomination (subclass 190) adds points and can open more occupations. The Skilled Work Regional visa (subclass 491) is a provisional visa that rewards regional commitment and leads to permanent residency down the track.

The pass mark to be invited is modest, but competitive scores are usually much higher, and they move. We assess your real position honestly rather than selling false hope.

Who this suits

  • You work in an occupation on a relevant skilled list
  • You can obtain a positive skills assessment
  • You are generally under 45 with competitive English
  • You want a clear, permanent future in Australia

How we help

  • Assess your points and options honestly, up front
  • Identify the best subclass and state nomination routes
  • Guide your skills assessment and Expression of Interest
  • Prepare, lodge and manage the application to decision
How many points do I need?

There is a minimum to be invited, but competitive scores are usually higher and change over time. We calculate yours carefully and tell you plainly where you stand.

Do I need a job offer?

Not for the independent (189) pathway. Some state and regional options weigh work or a job offer differently. We map the route that fits you.

Subclass 820/801 · 309/100

Partner & family visas

For partners of Australian citizens, permanent residents or eligible New Zealand citizens, whether you are onshore or offshore.

Partner applications are a two-stage journey: a temporary visa first (subclass 820 onshore or 309 offshore), then the permanent stage (801 or 100). The heart of a strong application is genuine, well-evidenced proof of your relationship across finances, your household, your social life, and the nature of your commitment.

We also assist with other family visas. Because these applications are personal and the evidence matters enormously, we take real care with yours.

Who this suits

  • You are the married or de facto partner of an eligible sponsor
  • Your relationship is genuine and continuing
  • You want the evidence prepared thoroughly and sensitively
  • You are applying from inside or outside Australia

How we help

  • Confirm eligibility for you and your sponsor
  • Build the relationship evidence decision-makers look for
  • Prepare and lodge both stages at the right time
  • Respond to any requests from the Department on your behalf
How long does a partner visa take?

Processing times vary and change. We give you a realistic picture based on current trends rather than a promise.

What evidence do we need?

Broadly four areas: financial, household, social, and the nature of your commitment. We help you gather and present it well.

Subclass 500 · 485

Student & graduate visas

Study in Australia, then keep your options open with post-study work rights.

The Student visa (subclass 500) requires a confirmed enrolment with a registered provider, evidence you are a genuine student, financial capacity, English, and health cover. After you finish an eligible qualification, the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) can give you valuable time to work in Australia.

Study does not lead to permanent residency automatically, so we help you choose a path with your longer-term goals in mind, not just the next enrolment.

Who this suits

  • You have or expect a confirmed place with a registered provider
  • You are a genuine student with the funds to support your study
  • You are a recent graduate considering post-study work
  • You want study to fit a longer-term plan

How we help

  • Advise on genuine-student and financial requirements
  • Prepare and lodge your Student visa
  • Time your Temporary Graduate application correctly
  • Map realistic pathways beyond graduation
Can I work on a student visa?

Student visas allow limited work, with conditions that change from time to time. We explain the current rules for your situation.

Does studying lead to PR?

Not by itself. Some graduates move on to skilled or employer-sponsored pathways. We help you plan realistically.

Subclass 482 · 186

Employer-sponsored

For skilled workers sponsored by an approved Australian business, and for the businesses that sponsor them.

The Skills in Demand visa (subclass 482) lets an approved employer sponsor a skilled worker, with streams and thresholds tied to the occupation. The Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186) is a permanent visa, and its Temporary Residence Transition stream is a common pathway to permanent residency after a qualifying period with the sponsor.

We act for skilled workers and for employers, so we can guide both sides of a sponsorship with the obligations clearly understood.

Who this suits

  • You are a skilled worker with an employer willing to sponsor you
  • You are a business that wants to sponsor skilled staff
  • You are on a 482 and want to plan your move to permanent residency
  • You want sponsor obligations handled properly

How we help

  • Assess the occupation, streams and salary thresholds
  • Guide sponsor accreditation and nomination
  • Prepare and lodge the visa application
  • Plan the pathway from temporary to permanent residency
Can a 482 lead to permanent residency?

Often yes, commonly through the Employer Nomination Scheme after meeting the requirements. We plan this from the start.

We are an employer. Can you help us sponsor?

Yes. We assist businesses with sponsorship and nomination, and keep the obligations clear.

Let's chart your path.

Book a consultation and we'll tell you honestly where you stand and what it takes, before you commit to anything.
