...The following information has been received by Migration Alliance from Sharon Harris:
"I have been approached by many Members of the Migration Institute of Australia (MIA) regarding the time when the MIA Constitution was amended to restrict terms for Directors to 2 terms of 2 years.
I therefore offer this as background information for those not in the profession at that time.
...Amy Ngo, a Vietnamese TOEFL® test-taker and recent graduate of the University of Technology Sydney, will be the featured guest at a live Twitter Q&A on August 31, where she will answer questions about her experience pursuing education and work abroad, and her success on the TOEFL test.
Amy will be an employee at Deloitte in Australia under a Temporary Graduate visa, Post-Study Work stream, after earning her master’s degree in Professional Accounting from UTS. She also has a bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Dallas in the United States. Read more of her story in her article, “How Studying Abroad Will Change Your Life.”
The one-hour chat, hosted by US News Education, begins at 13:00 UTC (11 pm AEST/9 pm AWST) on Thursday, August 31.
...Update 31 August 2017 at 9:00am: The MIA have issued the following statement in their newsletter dated 25 August 2017:
It has come to our attention that Christopher Levingston, on the Migration Alliance website, has published allegations that the Board of the MIA is under investigation by the Office of the MARA. This publication is an absolutely baseless and malicious fabrication with no truth or fact whatsoever. The MIA and the Board reserve their rights and will seek legal advice on the best action to take going forward.

...Due to the most recent announcement of the MIA to the effect that there is to be a new EGM on 8 September 2017 at 4pm EST, and the consequential clarification and unbundling of the previous proposals, the MIA has now made it necessary for a fresh proxy to be completed by RMAs.
What this means is that your previous proxies will have no effect, and if you wish to appoint me as your proxy, I have attached a link below to a fresh pre-filled proxy which you can adopt.
All you need to do is insert your personal details and address at the top of the page, and then sign and date it at the bottom, then scan it and send it back to me on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
The new proxy form is here:
