Education agents and immigration assistance

Please note, AA Education Network works in partnership with registered migration agents.

The Migration Act 1958 defines a person providing 'immigration assistance' and requires him/her to be registered as a migration agent. We therefore cannot provide immigration assistance but can provide the following services :

lodging visa applications

Our services may include:
- writing or typing an application form;
- Advice on filling a form
- Translation, collating and copying documents in support of a application
- Passing on information from a third party to a visa applicant
- Recipient of official correspondence on behalf of the visa applicant

Activities restricted to registered migration agents

Providing ‘immigration assistance’
The Migration Act states that any person who provides 'immigration assistance' must be registered as a migration agent and doing so otherwise is in breach of the Act.
Requesting fees for immigration representations
The Migration Act also states that a person must not ask for a fee or any remuneration in return for his/her services if he/she is not registered to provide 'immigration assistance'.

Please note: Our registered immigration agents help you with immigration services ...
