The 5 Critical Stages We Manage for You

Skills Assessment

We verify your work experience and qualifications against Australian standards and manage the application with the relevant assessing body (e.g., VETASSESS, ACS).

Risk Mitigation: One error here can invalidate your entire application. We ensure compliance with the Migration Occupations List (MLTSSL) requirements.

Points Maximisation

We strategise where to gain vital points (e.g., Superior English, Professional Year, Skilled Partner) to ensure your score is competitive, not just eligible.

Competitive Edge: We aim for the 85-95 point range necessary to secure an Invitation to Apply (ITA) in recent rounds.

Expression of Interest (EOI)

We prepare and lodge a flawless EOI via SkillSelect, accurately detailing your points and circumstances.

Accuracy: The EOI must perfectly match your future visa application evidence. We eliminate costly inconsistencies..

Invitation & Application

Once invited, we have 60 days to lodge the complete visa application with all supporting documents.

Deadline Management: We organize, translate, and certify documents to ensure you meet the strict 60-day window.

Health & Character

We coordinate your medical examinations and police clearance certificates worldwide.

Time Savings: We preemptively request necessary checks to minimize delays during the final processing stage.
