MARA Compliance

Your Protection, Our Commitment. All immigration advice through Kadamb Immigration is delivered by a MARA Registered Migration Agent in full compliance with Australian law.

Understanding MARA

What is MARA?

The Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA) is the regulatory body that oversees migration agents in Australia. Established under the Migration Act 1958 (Cth), MARA ensures that anyone providing immigration advice or assistance in connection with Australian visas is properly qualified, registered, and held to strict professional standards.

Under Australian law, only MARA-registered migration agents can lawfully provide immigration advice or assistance. This regulation exists to protect consumers from unqualified or unethical practitioners and to maintain the integrity of Australia's immigration system.

When you work with a MARA-registered agent, you benefit from mandatory professional indemnity insurance, adherence to a Code of Conduct, a formal complaints mechanism, and the assurance that your agent is qualified and accountable.

Why It Matters

Why MARA Registration Matters

Using a MARA-registered migration agent is not just recommended — for anyone providing immigration advice in Australia, it is a legal requirement.

Risks of Using Unregistered Agents

  • It is illegal — providing immigration advice without MARA registration is a criminal offense under Australian law.
  • Penalties apply to both the agent and the client who knowingly engages an unregistered agent.
  • No consumer protection — without MARA oversight, you have no formal mechanism to lodge complaints or seek recourse.
  • No Code of Conduct protections — unregistered agents are not bound by any professional standards or ethical requirements.

Benefits of MARA-Registered Agents

  • Legally compliant — your agent is authorized under the Migration Act 1958 to provide immigration advice.
  • Code of Conduct — MARA agents must follow strict professional and ethical standards set by the regulator.
  • Complaints mechanism — if something goes wrong, you can lodge a formal complaint with MARA.
  • Professional indemnity insurance — financial protection for clients in case of professional negligence.
Client Rights

Your Rights as a Client

When you engage a MARA-registered migration agent, you are entitled to specific protections under Australian law.

You have the right to a written agreement that clearly outlines the services to be provided, the fees charged, and the obligations of both parties before any work begins.

Right to Complain

If you are dissatisfied with the service provided, you have the right to lodge a formal complaint with MARA. The regulator investigates complaints and can take disciplinary action.

Access Your File

You have the right to access your complete file at any time. Your migration agent must provide copies of all documents related to your case upon request.

You have the right to full transparency on all fees before you commit. Your agent must provide a clear breakdown of professional fees, government charges, and any third-party costs.

Honest Advice

You have the right to receive honest and accurate advice about your prospects. Your agent must not mislead you about your chances of success or guarantee visa outcomes.
