Immigration lawyers in Australia may specialize in the different avenues.

Immigration lawyers need to be familiar with a range of laws including the Australian Migration Act (almost 800 pages), Migration Regulations(around 1,900 pages). This is in addition to the plethora of policy guidelines, Ministerial Directions, Court judgments of the Migration Review Tribunal, Refugee Review Tribunal and the Administrative Appeals Tribunal and High Court Decisions.

There are Agents (non lawyers) & Migration Lawyers. Many illegal agents operate in and outsideAustralia. Unprofessional or unethical behaviour by agents can seriously impact on the lives of people using their services and bring the profession into disrepute.

Please see How to choose a migration agent and Agent or a Lawyer?
