Why are Initial Consultations Needed?

1. Why do I need an initial consultation?

Australian migration law is complex and constantly changing.

Even if your question seems simple, the right answer often depends on your personal circumstances, such as your visa history, family situation, previous refusals, and plans.

An initial consultation ensures you get accurate, up-to-date, and tailored advice.


2. Can’t you just answer my “quick question”?

We understand it can feel like your situation only needs a short answer, but “quick questions” often have hidden complexities. A proper consultation allows us to:

  • Review your full immigration history

  • Identify risks or restrictions that may affect you

  • Provide advice that is legally accurate and safe

Without this, giving a casual answer could lead to incomplete or incorrect advice.


3. What happens during the consultation?

During your consultation, you’ll receive:

  • A personalised assessment of your circumstances

  • An explanation of your visa/citizenship options and pathways

  • Advice about requirements, risks, and timelines

  • Professional recommendations you can rely on

You’ll walk away with a clear understanding and action plan tailored to your goals.


4. How does a consultation protect me?

Making decisions without proper advice can lead to visa refusals, cancellations, or limited future options. A full consultation ensures we:

  • Check your eligibility carefully

  • Spot potential red flags or barriers early

  • Help you avoid costly mistakes that could affect your future in Australia


5. Do I need a consultation even if I’ve had a consultation before?

Yes. Immigration laws, policies, and processing times change regularly, and your personal circumstances may have changed too. A consultation ensures that the advice you receive today is current, relevant, and correct.


6. How long does an initial consultation take?

Our consultations are scheduled for up to 60 minutes and are available in-person, by phone, or via video call.


7. How do I book a consultation?

You can book online or by giving us a call on 0433 485 556.
