MARA-registered migration agents in Australia typically charge $2,000 to $8,000 for skilled visa applications. Partner visas run $3,500-$6,500, employer-sponsored visas $4,000-$9,000, student visas $1,500-$3,500, and AAT appeals $5,000-$15,000. These professional fees are in addition to government visa application charges, skills assessments, English testing, and medical examinations. Always request a written cost agreement before engaging an agent.

Legally, you can apply for any Australian visa yourself through ImmiAccount on the Department of Home Affairs website. However, most applicants with complex cases use a MARA-registered agent: skilled migration with points testing, employer-sponsored visas, partner visas requiring evidence of genuine relationship, or any application with character or health concerns. Simple tourist and working holiday visas can usually be DIY.

MARA is the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority. Under the Migration Act 1958, anyone providing immigration assistance for a fee must be registered with MARA (or be a lawyer with a current practising certificate). Every MARA-registered agent has a 7-digit MARN (Migration Agent Registration Number) that they must display. You can verify their registration and check for disciplinary history at mara.gov.au.
