An Immigration Consultant or Migration agent is anyone who offers specific advice or assistance to someone who is trying to obtain an Australian Visa or sponsoring prospective Australian Visa applicants. An Immigraiton Consultant or Migration agent includes lawyers and people who work for voluntary organisations and provide their advice free of charge. However, migration agents generally charge for their services. Migration agents operating in Australia are required by law to be registered with the Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA). Some migration agents operating outside Australia are also registered with the MARA.
