Australian migration — expert guidance for every visa

Only MARA-registered agents can legally give Australian immigration advice and lodge your visa application. EPA Global has guided compliant outcomes across skilled, employer-sponsored, student and family visas since 2006.

Why a MARA-registered agent is non-negotiable for Australian visas

In Australia, only professionals registered with the Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA) are legally permitted to give immigration advice and lodge visa applications on your behalf. Using an unregistered consultant — regardless of how experienced they claim to be — puts your application, your money and your future at legal risk. EPA Global's MARN 0637341 is publicly verifiable on the official government register.

We handle Australian migration only.

EPA Global holds a MARA licence for Australia only. We do not offer migration services for the UK, Canada, Germany, New Zealand or any other country — and we will never pretend otherwise. If a consultant offers you migration services for multiple countries without separate, verifiable registrations for each, treat that as a warning sign.
For study abroad guidance in those countries, our study abroad team handles university admissions and student visa assistance — which is a different, non-migration-agent service.

A lot can go wrong between your first enquiry and your visa grant. We're there for every step — legally authorised, accountable, and involved until the outcome is done.

Legally registered — MARA 0637341

Not self-declared. Publicly verifiable. We are one of the very few consultancies you can actually check — because we're the ones the law requires to be checked.

Study and migration — one team

Because we handle both university admissions and Australian visas, we plan your study-to-PR pathway from the moment you enrol — not as an afterthought three years later.

Honest, not optimistic

We tell you your real points position and realistic prospects — even when it isn't what you hoped to hear. Honest advice now is far better than a refused application later.

EdChimp — tracked end to end

Every application is tracked on EdChimp, our own platform. Real-time status updates, document management, milestone alerts — you always know exactly where you stand.

We stay until you're settled

Visa grant isn't the finish line. We remain involved through your arrival, settlement and onward pathway — because that's what genuine commitment looks like.
