Migration Agents in Melbourne, Victoria

Melbourne is one of the world's most multicultural cities, with over 200 languages spoken across its suburbs — and it shows in its migration services industry. With nearly 600 MARA-registered agents, Melbourne has the largest number of migration professionals of any city in Australia. The city is a magnet for international students (home to the University of Melbourne, Monash, RMIT, and Deakin), skilled workers in healthcare, IT, construction, and hospitality, and families seeking permanent residency through state nomination pathways. Melbourne's CBD, particularly around Collins Street, Queen Street, and Flinders Lane, is dense with migration firms ranging from solo practitioners to large multi-partner agencies.

Victoria's state nomination program (subclass 190 and 491) is highly sought after, and Melbourne agents are well-versed in navigating the Victorian nomination requirements. Popular visa types include skilled independent visas, employer-sponsored 482 and 494 visas, graduate visas (subclass 485), and partner visas. Melbourne agents frequently assist with the Global Talent visa program given the city's strong tech and research sectors. When selecting an agent in Melbourne, consider their experience with Victorian state nomination specifically, as requirements differ from other states. Look for agents who offer an initial consultation — many Melbourne firms provide a free 15-30 minute assessment.
