    Migration Agent vs Immigration Lawyer: What You Must Know Before Applying for an Australian Visa

    Are you a nurse or skilled professional planning your move to Australia? Choosing the right migration advisor could make all the difference to your success. In this episode of Making Australian Migration Easy, Rhea Fawole — Host of the show and CEO & Principal Lawyer of SOLVi Migration — explains the key differences between migration agents and immigration lawyers, and why this distinction is critical for protecting your future. Understanding these differences can help you avoid costly mistakes, delays in AHPRA registration, visa rejections, and unnecessary legal risks. This episode is essential listening for any nurse or skilled professional seeking real legal protection and complete support throughout their migration journey. In This Episode:✅ The differences in qualifications, training, and supervision between migration agents and lawyers ✅ Why lawyers can provide broader legal advice across areas like employment, healthcare, family, and corporate law ✅ How attorney-client privilege protects your sensitive information during your migration process ✅ How to verify the credentials of migration professionals to avoid being misled ✅ The risks of relying on recruiters, friends, or unqualified advisors for migration guidance Key Takeaways:🔹 Migration agents complete a Graduate Diploma in Migration Law and are regulated by MARA, but can only advise on migration law. 🔹 Lawyers complete a 4 year law degree or a Juris Doctor, undergo years of supervised legal practice, and can advise you across migration law and related areas such as employment, healthcare, and family law. 🔹 Only lawyers offer attorney-client privilege, meaning your private communications are fully protected under the law. 🔹 Always check professional credentials—use the MARA register for migration agents and remembers you to check Law Society listings for lawyers (not the MARA).
