Who Are We?
Austral Migration Consultancy is a practicing immigration law firm with offices in Singapore, Malaysia and beyond through our future presence in more regions, as well as through our partner network.
As a premier law firm, we were formed with the aim of making the migration process a smooth one from the minute a client has engaged us – at Austral we have our client’s best interest in mind and act towards this at all times.
Our team is both diverse and qualified – one of the few legal practitioners in the region with 2 Australian immigration lawyers as well as 3 Australian MARA agents in-house. This is complemented with a team of consultants and operations/administrative teams dedicated to processing Australian visa applications.
