Reform measures in the migration advice industry - Fed Govt engaged with migration advice industry to progress initiatives that will strengthen the legislative environment, guide professional standards and increase consumer protections
Assistant Minister for Customs, Community Safety and Multicultural Affairs, Jason Wood, said he had been working closely with the migration advice industry to ensure it can support the integrity of Australia’s migration program.
“The establishment of the Code provides better oversight of registered migration agents without increasing regulatory burden,” Assistant Minister Wood said.
“We will also implement a range of regulatory measures, including improving the registration process to become an agent, strengthening the powers available to the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (OMARA) when assessing registration applications, and enhancing penalties for illegal operators providing unlawful advice.”
