About Us

Newland Migration Law Services is an established Australian migration practice with nearly 30 years of experience assisting individuals, families and businesses with Australian immigration matters.

We are seeking an experienced migration skilled to join our team. This is an important role for someone with experience working in a migration agency (ideally 2 years working experience) who can confidently manage complex visa applications, provide practical case management support and contribute to the delivery of high-quality migration services.

Registration as a Migration Agent is not essential. We welcome applications from migration case managers, migration consultants, administrative assistants and other migration professionals with an experience understanding of Australian immigration law and procedures.

About the Role

You will be responsible for managing a range of Australian visa matters, including complex applications requiring careful assessment, strong document preparation skills and attention to detail.

The ideal candidate will be capable of handling challenging cases with a high degree of independence, while working collaboratively with our team to achieve the best possible outcomes for clients.

Ideally if you are a registered migration agent, you will need to help out with consultations if required.

If you are not a registered migration agent this is fine, you will simply handle the case management of the visa or ART applications.

Key Responsibilities

- Manage and prepare employer-sponsored visa applications, including Skills in Demand (subclass 482) visas, including nomination and sponsorship matters.
- Handle protection visa applications and ministerial intervention requests and submissions, with associated documentation.




- Manage partner visa applications, including complex cases and supporting evidence.
- Family visa applications and any other complex visa or ART applications.
- Assess client circumstances, identify potential issues and develop appropriate case strategies.
- Prepare detailed submissions, statements, supporting documents and responses to requests from the Department of Home Affairs.
- Monitor application progress, deadlines and legislative or policy changes relevant to client matters.
- Communicate professionally with clients, employers, sponsors and all relevant stakeholders.
- Maintain accurate client files and ensure all work is completed to a high professional standard.
- Work independently on assigned matters while collaborating with colleagues on more complex cases.

- Practical experience preparing protection visa applications.

- Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple cases and competing deadlines.
- Strong attention to detail, sound judgement and a proactive approach to resolving case issues.
- The ability to work independently, take ownership of files and provide reliable support to the wider team.
- A professional, client-focused approach and a commitment to ethical migration practice.

Highly regarded:

- Experience preparing visa and ART applications.
