The Australian Border Force recently detained and removed a foreign national who was living in Australia without a visa and illegally charging people for migration advice.
This person took money from more than 100 visa applicants, helping them to apply for a Protection visa despite knowing they were not asylum seekers and would be refused.
This was not only unlawful; it also caused unnecessary delays to the applications of asylum seekers and others who genuinely need Australia’s protection.
Under Australian law, only registered migration agents and Australian legal practitioners can charge a fee for providing immigration assistance.
Don’t risked being scammed. Search for a registered migration agent at www.mara.gov.au or access free legal advice from a specialist refugee and immigration legal provider in your state or territory.
