Migrate to Australia with advice you can trust
Clear, honest and personalised guidance from Registered Migration Agents — for skilled workers, employers, partners and families, and students planning their next step after graduation.
Why migrate to Australia?
One of the world’s strongest economies, a multicultural society and a migration program that assesses every applicant on the same criteria — wherever you come from.
Quality of life
Australian cities consistently rank among the most liveable in the world for healthcare, education, safety and open space.
Skills in demand
A stable economy with ongoing shortages in health, engineering, trades, IT and education keeps skilled pathways open.
A fair, open program
Australia’s Migration Program does not discriminate on ethnic origin, gender, colour or religion. If you meet the legal criteria, you can apply.
Study-to-residency pathways
Graduate work rights and points for Australian study mean an education here can be the first step towards permanent residence.
How AMET works with you
Migration rules are complex and change often. We turn them into a plan you can follow, and stay with you from first assessment to visa grant.
Eligibility assessment
We review your qualifications, work history, English level, family situation and goals against the visas currently open to you.
Visa strategy
You get a written recommendation on the best pathway, realistic timeframes, costs and any skills assessment or nomination steps required.
Documents & lodgement
We prepare and check every document to Department of Home Affairs standards, then lodge the application on your behalf.
Grant and beyond
We handle Department requests, keep you informed at each stage and plan your next visa or permanent residence when the time comes.
What do you need help with?
Our agents advise on the full range of Australian temporary and permanent visas. Choose the area closest to your situation — we’ll confirm the right subclass in your consultation.

The employer-sponsored temporary work visa that replaced the Temporary Skill Shortage visa. For skilled workers with a job offer from an approved Australian sponsor, with a route to permanent residence.
Talk to an agentVisitor & Working Holiday visas
Short-term visits for tourism, family or business, and Working Holiday visas for eligible 18–30 (or 35) year-olds who want to travel and work in Australia for up to a year or more.

Onshore and offshore partner visas for married and de facto couples, plus parent, child and other family visas. We help you evidence a genuine relationship the way the Department expects.

Book a MeetingCommon questions
Do I need a registered migration agent to apply?
No — you can lodge an application yourself. But refusals are costly, and in Australia only OMARA-registered agents or lawyers may legally charge for immigration advice. An agent checks you are applying for the right visa, at the right time, with evidence that meets the Department’s standards.
How long does an Australian visa take?
It depends on the subclass, how complete the application is and Department processing times at lodgement. Your agent will give you a realistic estimate for your pathway and a checklist so nothing delays the file once it is lodged.
I’m on a student visa. Can I move to permanent residence?
Often, yes. A Temporary Graduate visa gives you time to gain Australian work experience, and study, English and regional factors can add points for skilled migration. The earlier you plan your course and occupation, the smoother the pathway.
Can AMET help my employer sponsor me?
Yes. We advise both the applicant and the business — sponsorship approval, nomination and the visa application — and help employers understand their obligations so the sponsorship stays compliant.
