LAW COUNCIL OF AUSTRALIA: The end of dual regulation for migration lawyers - Migration lawyers will be able to offer services independently of the regulatory framework for migration agents
From today, migration lawyers will be able to offer services independently of the regulatory framework for migration agents, and all lawyers with unrestricted practising certificates will be freely able to provide immigration assistance in the course of legal practice.
The discontinuation of dual regulation is in accordance with multiple major recommendations spanning many years and has been a long-held advocacy position of the Law Council. The removal of expensive and inefficient regulation of migration lawyers will improve access to justice by reducing costs for lawyers and therefore their clients.

Has anyone seen the new form 956?
It contains a link that was also in the new "consumer guide" - basically it provides a vehicle for the "law council" to slag off RMA's.
MA doing anything?
