Who Are We?
Austral Migration Consultancy is a practicing immigration law firm with offices in Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, and beyond through our future presence in more regions, as well as through our partner network.

Our team is both diverse and qualified – one of the few legal practitioners in the region with 2 Australian immigration lawyers as well as 3 Australian MARA agents in-house. This is complemented with a team of consultants and operations/administrative teams dedicated to processing Australian visa applications.
