The DIBP have sent the following correspondence to a Migration Alliance member RMA after receiving an email from him on 29 October 2015 regarding the cessation of fingerprint services by the Australian Federal Police in Western Australia:

"The Department of Immigration and Border Protection (the Department) is aware the Australian Federal Police (AFP) has ceased providing fingerprinting services to the public. In Western Australia the Police have also withdrawn from providing fingerprinting services.    

While the Department understands that not all foreign embassies or consulates in Australia are able to provide this service to their citizens, the Department still requires a police clearance certificate if requested.

Working as a Registered Migration Agent can mean assisting clients in making one of the most important decisions of their lives: helping them migrate to Australia.

Do I really need Professional Indemnity Cover?

Taking out Professional Indemnity cover is not only a sensible professional decision, it’s also a legal requirement. Migration agents are required under the Migration Act to hold a Professional Indemnity policy which features at least $250,000 in coverage. Why? Because it protects you against claims from clients who allege you or your business did something wrong or failed to do what it said it would. You might have made a genuine mistake or you might have done nothing at all, but either way you could be facing a big bill.

Migration Alliance is in receipt of the following information from a victim of Abel Prasad.  The victim would like her name to remain anonymous.  The details of this story have been provided to the relevant authorities:

"I just wanted to share my experience with Abel Prasad in case it can be used as evidence against him… my experience wasn’t migration though but I figure every piece of evidence against this pathological liar would help?

I was employed by Abel Prasad around six years ago when he started a company called Ivy Envy Marketing. Originally he ‘employed’ myself and a number of other young women to work as interns for his business. At the time I was young and naive. I worked for him for around six months during which time I became acutely aware that he was a pathological liar and a manipulator. The group started as unpaid interns and after someone dobbed him into fair work (this was only made aware to me after I left) he began paying us. After seeing a letter in his office, I suspect I’m actually owed a lot of money from him when I was working as an intern because it was illegal for him to have us working for no wage and fair work had demanded he back pay us for our time, from which we never saw a cent for (not to mention the bounced pay cheques etc).
