The content published on this website, including articles, guides, FAQs, blog posts, and general information pages, is provided for general informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal advice and must not be relied upon as such.
Migration law is complex, fact-specific, and subject to frequent change. Information that was accurate when published may no longer reflect current law, policy, or practice. The Department of Home Affairs, the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART), and the Federal Court regularly issue decisions and policy updates that can affect visa eligibility and outcomes.
Before making any decision about a visa application, sponsorship, review proceeding, or any other migration matter, you should obtain advice from an admitted legal practitioner or registered migration agent who can assess your specific circumstances.
Accessing this website or reading its content does not create a client-lawyer relationship between you and Global Vision Migration Lawyers. A client relationship is only established when we have confirmed our engagement with you in writing, including through a signed Client Agreement and Costs Disclosure.
We endeavour to keep the information on this website current and accurate. However, we do not warrant that all content is up to date at the time you access it. Always verify critical information against the primary source, including the Department of Home Affairs website at www.homeaffairs.gov.au, the Federal Register of Legislation at www.legislation.gov.au, and AustLII at www.austlii.edu.au.
Appointments with Global Vision Migration Lawyers may be booked through this website, by telephone, by email, or through any linked online booking platform. By booking an appointment, you agree to these Terms, including the appointment-specific terms set out in this section.
An initial consultation is a paid professional service. The purpose of an initial consultation is to allow one of our lawyers to understand your circumstances, provide a preliminary assessment, and advise on the options available to you. The consultation fee does not include the preparation or lodgement of any application, document, or correspondence on your behalf.
The fee for an initial consultation will be advised to you at the time of booking and confirmed in writing. Fees are subject to change and the applicable fee is the one in effect at the time your appointment is confirmed.
All consultation bookings with Global Vision Migration Lawyers are confirmed and non-cancellable. We do not offer refunds or cancellations once an appointment has been booked and confirmed. The consultation fee is non-refundable under any circumstances.
If you need to reschedule your appointment, you must notify us by phone or email at least 12 hours before your scheduled appointment time. Rescheduling requests received with at least 12 hours' notice will be accommodated subject to availability, and your consultation fee will be transferred to the new appointment time.
Rescheduling requests received with less than 12 hours' notice will not be accepted. In that circumstance, the appointment will be treated as a no-show and the full consultation fee will be forfeited without the option to reschedule or receive a credit.
If you do not attend your scheduled appointment without any prior notice, the full consultation fee is forfeited and no rescheduling will be offered without payment of a new consultation fee.
We reserve the right to reschedule appointments due to unforeseen circumstances on our end, including lawyer unavailability, illness, or events beyond our reasonable control. Where we reschedule an appointment, we will notify you as soon as practicable and offer an alternative time at no additional cost to you.
If you proceed to engage Global Vision Migration Lawyers to prepare and lodge a visa application, sponsorship application, nomination, or any other substantive migration matter on your behalf following your initial consultation, the consultation fee you have paid will be credited towards our professional fees for that matter. This credit applies to the first engagement confirmed in writing following the consultation and is not transferable to third parties or redeemable as cash.
Please be ready for your appointment at the scheduled time. For telephone or video consultations, please ensure you are in a private, quiet location with a reliable connection. If you are more than 15 minutes late without prior notice, we may need to reschedule your appointment and the rescheduling policy in section 5.3 will apply.
To make the most of your consultation time, we recommend that you gather and review any relevant documents before the appointment, including passports, existing visa grant letters, previous refusal decisions, skills assessments, English language test results, and employment records. We will advise you on specific documents relevant to your matter when confirming your booking.
Information you share with us during a consultation is treated as confidential in accordance with our professional obligations as legal practitioners. However, confidentiality obligations do not prevent us from disclosing information where required by law, court order, or our regulatory obligations.
We conduct a conflict of interest check before confirming all new client engagements. If a conflict is identified, we will notify you promptly and, where appropriate, refer you to another practitioner.
A consultation does not obligate either party to proceed with an ongoing engagement. If you wish to engage us to act on your matter following a consultation, we will provide you with a formal Client Agreement and Costs Disclosure in accordance with our obligations under the Legal Profession Uniform Law. Work on your matter will not commence until that agreement is signed and any required retainer is paid.
When you use this website, we may collect personal information about you, including your name, email address, phone number, and the nature of your enquiry. This information may be collected through enquiry forms, appointment booking tools, newsletter sign-ups, live chat functions, or directly through your communications with us.
We are committed to handling your personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.
We use the information you provide to respond to your enquiries, confirm and manage appointments, provide our legal services where you engage us, send you information about our services where you have consented to receive it, improve our website and service delivery, and comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.
