Applying for a Skilled Visa in Australia is not easy. Between the different visa types, strict points requirements and confusing occupation lists, it is hard to know where to start or if you are even eligible.
Add to that the stress of getting your qualifications assessed, choosing the right stream and keeping up with changing rules and the whole process can feel overwhelming.
The truth is, even small mistakes can lead to big delays or even a refusal.
It is not just paperwork, it is your future on the line.

As lawyers, we are qualified to handle things migration agents are unable to assist with — legal advice, appeals, refusals and complex issues and at GM Migration Lawyers, we are much more than just legal experts, we are passionate and genuinely care about helping you build your future in Australia.
Whether you are applying on your own, with state nomination, family sponsorship or through an employer, we are here to make the visa process simple and stress-free.
Not sure which visa suits your situation? We will help you understand your options. This includes the Skilled Independent (subclass 189) Visa for independent skilled workers, the Skilled Nominated (subclass 190) Visa if a state or territory is nominating you or the Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) (subclass 491) Visa if you have family support in a regional area or an employer-sponsored visa if a business is offering you a position.
If you are a New Zealand citizen living and working in Australia, we can also guide you through the pathway to Australian Permanent Residency and eventually Australian Citizenship.
We can check if your occupation is on the Skilled Occupation List, calculate your points for the Points Test and help you stay up to date with monthly invitation rounds.
No matter your background or goals, we will work with you to find the most efficient, affordable and successful pathway to a future in Australia.
Not Just Migration Agents. There is a Big Difference for Skilled Visa Applicants.
Applying for a Skilled Visa is more than just filling out forms — it is a strategic process that requires legal insight, detailed documentation and precision. One mistake in your points calculation, occupation classification or skills assessment can cost you your visa — or delay your migration by years.
At GM Migration Lawyers, we are experienced Australian lawyers — not just migration agents. We offer end-to-end legal support designed to help professionals like you migrate to Australia confidently and successfully.
Here is why that matters:
As lawyers, we have in-depth knowledge of case law, the Migration Act and policy guidelines. We can help you structure a strong, legally sound application — especially if your case involves complexities such as age, work experience gaps or changes to the Skilled Occupation List.
Your Skilled Visa is often just the first step. We will help you plan the full journey to Australian Permanent Residency and even Australian Citizenship, so your pathway is clear from day one — not just patched together along the way.
If your application has been refused or delayed, we can represent you at the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) or even in Federal Court — something agents cannot do.

I help skilled professionals turn their qualifications and experience into successful migration outcomes.
Australia’s Skilled Visa system is points-based, competitive and constantly evolving. It is a powerful pathway to Australian Permanent Residency which is full of technical requirements and hidden pitfalls which catch many applicants off guard.
Whether you are applying independently for a Skilled Independent (subclass 189) Visa, through state nomination for a Skilled Nominated (subclass 190) or for a regional Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) (subclass 491) Visa, success depends on more than just your occupation and points score. It is about timing, documentation and knowing how to align your application with what the Department of Home Affairs is really looking for.
That is where I come in.
As a qualified immigration lawyer, I help skilled workers plan and execute smart, legally sound migration strategies that work — even in high-risk or complex situations.
When you work with me, I will help you:
If you are serious about building a life in Australia through your skills, do not leave your future to chance.
Work with a lawyer who understands the law, the legal process and how to turn your career into your ticket to Australia.
