Example · Skilled migration

Professional help planning a skilled migration pathway

I live in South Korea and do not currently hold an Australian visa. I hope to move in 2027. I am 31, have a computer science degree and five years of software engineering experience. My latest PTE overall score is 65. I need a registered professional to assess my background and plan skills assessment and application preparation if appropriate. I prefer an online consultation in English within a month. Experience with technology occupations matters most to me.

Why this example works: Age, study and work history give the professional a starting point for assessing the background and identifying information still needed.

Example · Employer sponsored

Support for an employer sponsorship process

Our business operates in NSW and is planning recruitment for early 2027. We have eight employees and have identified an overseas candidate with a relevant degree and four years of experience. We need help reviewing the business and candidate circumstances and planning the sponsorship process. We prefer an English appointment within a month, online or in person in NSW, with a written breakdown of fees.

Why this example works: The business size, recruitment timing and candidate background clarify the scope of sponsorship preparation.

Example · Partner & family

Assistance preparing a partner application

I live in Vietnam and my Australian citizen partner lives in Sydney. I do not currently hold an Australian visa. We have been together for three years, lived together for one year and married six months ago. We need professional help reviewing our circumstances and organising relationship evidence and application preparation. We prefer an English video appointment within a month. Experience supporting couples living overseas is important to us.

Why this example works: The relationship timeline and time living together help the professional understand what evidence preparation may be needed.

Example · Student & graduate

A consultation to plan my next steps after study

I hold a student visa and live in Melbourne. My visa expires in March 2027. I expect to complete a Master of IT in December 2026 and have one year of overseas work experience. I need a professional to review my study and work history and help plan my next application, if appropriate. I would like an English appointment as soon as possible, online or in person in Melbourne, with the consultation fee explained.

Why this example works: The course completion and visa expiry dates give the professional useful timing context without asking for advice on a public board.

Example · Visitor

Professional assistance with a family visit application

I live in India and hope to visit my daughter in Australia in June 2027 for four weeks. I am employed full-time, have approved leave and will pay for the trip myself. I need help reviewing my circumstances and preparing the supporting material for a visitor application. I am just exploring services at this stage. I prefer an English video consultation and have flexible timing.

Why this example works: The purpose and length of the visit, employment and funding explain the circumstances the professional is being asked to review.

Example · Other

A professional review following a visa refusal

I am in Australia and received a visa refusal decision yesterday. I applied for a student visa and have the decision letter available to share privately. I need an urgent professional review of the decision, any applicable deadline and the services available for my circumstances. I prefer an English telephone or video appointment as soon as possible. Please explain the initial consultation fee.

Why this example works: The recent decision and request for a private review make the urgency clear without publishing sensitive documents.

Example · Skilled migration

Guidance preparing a regional migration application

I live and work in regional NSW on a subclass 485 visa expiring in August 2027. I am 29, have a civil engineering degree and two years of engineering experience. I need professional assistance reviewing my background and planning regional migration steps if appropriate. I prefer an English phone consultation within a month, followed by written next steps and regular updates.

Why this example works: The regional location, current visa and work background help the professional prepare relevant follow-up questions.

Example · Partner & family

Help planning a parent migration matter

My parents live in South Korea and do not currently hold Australian visas. I live in Brisbane. They are 64 and 62. I am an Australian citizen and our family is considering longer-term arrangements. We need a professional to review our family circumstances and outline the scope and timing of relevant services. We are just exploring long-term services. We prefer an English video consultation and clear written follow-up, with no urgent deadline.

Why this example works: The parents’ ages and the sponsor’s citizenship and location establish useful family context for an initial consultation.

Example · Not sure yet

An initial consultation to understand what help I need

I live in Malaysia and am considering moving to Australia in late 2027. I am 34, hold an accounting degree and have seven years of work experience. I have not taken an English test. I need an initial professional assessment and a plan for gathering information before deciding on further services. I am just exploring and have no preferred consultation format. Clear communication in English matters most to me.

Why this example works: An uncertain goal is paired with concrete background and a request for an initial assessment, making the service need clear.

Example · Student & graduate

I live in Melbourne on a student visa expiring in March 2027. I expect to finish a Master of IT in December 2026 and have two years of related work experience in South Korea. I need professional help reviewing my studies and experience and planning my next application. I prefer a Korean phone consultation within a month and clear next steps after the appointment.

Why this example works: Study dates, visa expiry and prior work experience help the professional plan an initial discussion about the requested service.

Example · Partner & family

Why this example works: The relationship history is separate from the requested service, helping the professional gauge the preparation involved.

We are just exploring sponsorship services. We prefer a Korean consultation, online or in person in Sydney, with fees broken down by stage.

Why this example works: The business size and recruitment stage help the professional understand that planning support is needed before procedures begin.
