Request for Expressions of Interest from Higher Education Providers for approval of courses for qualification as a registered migration agent

The Department of Home Affairs is remaking the legislative instrument that lists acceptable courses for qualification as a registered migration agent in Australia. The Department is seeking submissions for inclusion in this new legislative instrument from higher education providers offering courses for qualification as a registered migration agent.
On 1 April 2026, Migration (IMMI 18/003: Specified courses and exams for registration as a migration agent) Instrument 2018 (IMMI 18/003) will sunset. The Department is remaking the instrument so it aligns with the contemporary knowledge requirements expected of the industry.
The Department must assess all courses before they can be included in the new instrument. The Department must also reassess and approve courses listed in IMMI 18/003 before they can be included in the new instrument.
