Code of Conduct

Under Australian law, any migration agent who provides advice within Australia must be registered with the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (OMARA). OMARA is responsible for administering the Code of Conduct (“the Code”), which governs Migration Agents’ behaviour in regards to such issues as character, competency, diligence and fairness.

Migration Agents are also required to provide a copy of the Information on the Regulation of the Migration Advice Profession (Consumer Guide).
