About Virtue Family & Property Lawyers

Virtue Family & Property Lawyers is a small, ambitious law firm based in Brisbane CBD, practising across migration, property and family law. We are backed by an established migration and professional services business with a strong referral network. As our practice grows, we are looking for an experienced migration lawyer or registered migration agent to deliver practical advice and a high standard of client service.

About the Role

This full-time, hybrid role suits a practitioner who can manage migration matters from initial consultation through to outcome, exercise sound skilled judgement and communicate clearly with clients.

We welcome applications from either suitably qualified migration lawyers or registered migration agents; you do not need to hold both qualifications.

Key Responsibilities

- Prepare, lodge and manage visa applications across relevant areas, including student, graduate, partner, family, visitor, skilled and employer-sponsored visas.

- Manage employer sponsorship and nomination matters, including DAMA endorsement and associated applications where relevant.

- Assist with student visa refusals, other visa refusals, proposed visa cancellations, cancellation responses and review matters within your professional authorisation and experience.

- Research migration legislation and policy, prepare well-supported submissions and respond to requests for further information.

- Liaise with clients, employers, the Department of Home Affairs and other relevant bodies.

- Maintain accurate records, manage deadlines and provide timely updates throughout each matter.

- Work with colleagues, support and mentor junior staff where appropriate, and contribute to consistent file management and quality assurance.





- Build trusted client and referral relationships and contribute to the growth of the migration practice.

About You

- Either a migration lawyer with a current Australian practising certificate appropriate to the role, or a registered migration agent with current OMARA registration.

- Demonstrated experience managing Australian migration matters and the ability to take ownership of a caseload appropriate to your experience and authorisation.

- Strong research, drafting and analytical skills, with careful attention to evidence and detail.

- Clear, empathetic communication and the ability to explain complex issues in practical terms.

- Excellent organisation, deadline management and professional judgement.

- A commitment to ethical practice, confidentiality and high-quality client service.

What We Offer

- Salary of $100,000–$150,000 per year, commensurate with experience, plus commission opportunities.
