Initial consultations


How much is an initial consultation?

For a limited time our fees are $99 for a consultation of 30 minutes with an Accredited Specialist Immigration Lawyer (and registered

migration agent). In most cases, we will be able to give you a good idea of the likelihood of making a successful application, as well as

a quote for our fixed fees and the likely cost of disbursements. These consultations can be face to face or via phone or Skype (or similar).

For an initial consultation in relation to two applicants or a refusal or cancellation - either at merits or judicial review stage - our fees are

usually between $198 (60 mins) to $297 (90 mins) but will read first some Department (or Tribunal/Court) paperwork in most cases.

We will normally ask you to provide a copy of the decision record in advance, so that we can thoroughly consider the relevant legal issues

in advance.
