Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA)

In Australia, migration agents must be registered with the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority.

Registered Migration Agents are bound by a Code of Conduct and are required to have an in-depth knowledge of Australian migration law and procedure and meet high professional and ethical standards.

If you are planning to apply for Australian Visa, it isn't required to have a Migration Agent. But if you are planning to get help from a Migration Agent, make sure that the agent you are dealing with is duly registered with Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA).


The Office of the MARA regulates Australia’s registered migration agents to:

ensure that clients receive high quality immigration assistance, and

protect the interests of people receiving immigration assistance.
