Cost of an Australian Visa Application in Melbourne: Government Fees and Agent Fees

The cost of an Australian visa application has two main parts: the visa application charge set by the Department of Home Affairs, which differs for each visa type, and your migration agent’s fees. You can check the government charge for your visa on the Department of Home Affairs Visa Pricing Estimator. You should also plan for other costs while your application is processed, such as living expenses.

Australian Visa Processing Times: What to Expect in Melbourne

Visa processing times vary by visa subclass, the Department of Home Affairs’ current queue of applications and how thorough your application is. The Department publishes current processing times for many visas on its Global visa processing times page. Insufficient evidence can cause delays, especially if the Department asks you for additional information.

Processing times are subject to change. At your initial consultation, our Melbourne migration agents can explain the current processing information for your visa and help you prepare a thorough application to help reduce avoidable delays.

Step 1

Book a consultation with one of our registered migration agents, where we’ll discuss your situation and see how we can help you move forward.

Step 2

Application preparation & submission

Your migration agent will prepare a submission to support your application, tailored to your situation and backed by the documents required. Once it is complete, we’ll lodge your application with the Department of Home Affairs on your behalf.

Step 3

Visa outcome & review support

We’ll be in touch once the Department of Home Affairs has made a decision. If the application isn’t granted, we can assess your options, which may include seeking a review of the decision by the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART), depending on your circumstances.

History of migration in Melbourne

Melbourne's rich tapestry of migration began in the 19th century with the arrival of European settlers during the Victorian gold rush. Post-World War II saw waves of migrants from Italy, Greece, and Eastern Europe, while the latter 20th century welcomed individuals from Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.

In more recent times, Melbourne's demographic landscape has further diversified with the influx of skilled overseas workers sponsored by their employer, international students seeking education, and refugees. Following their initial visa application, many of these migrants are now Australian permanent residents or Australian citizens. Migration has enriched the city with cultural traditions, languages, and culinary experiences.

Is It Worth Using a Migration Agent in Australia?

For many applicants, yes. A registered migration agent can help you avoid mistakes in your application and choose the right visa. The main drawback is the cost, but mistakes, even minor ones, can lead to a refusal, the loss of non-refundable government fees and complications for future visa applications.

Migration laws and visa options in Australia are complex and change often. A registered migration agent keeps up to date with legislative changes and can give you current advice. Dealing with the Department of Home Affairs can also be stressful, and support can be limited.

Our migration agents can explore your visa options, guide you through the documents and evidence you need, and help you meet the required dates, which reduces the stress and time involved in the application process.

How Do I Choose a Migration Agent in Australia?

Choose a migration agent who is registered with the Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA), has experience with your type of visa and explains their fees clearly before you engage them.

Choosing the right agent matters, because the wrong choice can mean lost money due to errors, potential scams, and misleading or incorrect advice that could derail your migration plans. Research your options, ask about fees upfront and confirm the agent’s registration number before you proceed. Australian Migration Agents is registered under MARN 2217744.
