Migration Alliance is proud to invite you to an exclusive Business Lunch hosted by Craig Laundy MP, Federal Member for Reid, with special guest, The Hon. Josh Frydenberg MP, Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister.

This is a unique opportunity for migration agent voices to be heard on key points affecting the migration profession. 

Migration Alliance board will be in attendance at this meeting beating the drum hard on the following issues:

1/ Over-regulation by the Office of the MARA on CPD framework (eg 2 hours per 1 CPD point for a conference)

2/ IELTS test for new migration agents entering the profession

3/ Unregistered practice has to go - if the DIBP only regulates Australians and yet allows shonky operators to continue then what is the point?

4/ Repeat registration - why does it have to be annual?  If agents have been in the profession for 5 years then it should drop to bi-annual or tri-annual

5/ What does our annual fee get us per year?  Which service are we receiving for this huge annual fee / charge?

6/ Conflict of interest  - Office of the MARA is not independent.  We are regulated by DIBP (OMARA is a division of DIBP).  The profession needs an independent regulator who can actually offer services much the like Law Society offers to lawyers.

One of Mr Frydenberg's key roles in government will be implementing the Coalition's Deregulation Agenda to slash red tape that costs business $1 billion annually.
 
Guests will have an opportunity to provide direct feedback and examples to Mr Frydenberg and Mr Laundy on unnecessary deregulation in their industry.
 
Please see the atttached invitation with payment form.
We look forward seeing you, your clients and your friends at the lunch.  Please join Migration Alliance and make a stand for our profession.  Join our tables at this event and let's send a loud and clear message to the Prime Minister via these wonderful MPs that we deserve much better.
