Code of Conduct
The "Migration Agents Code of Conduct" is published by the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority, the Australian Government body established to regulate the conduct of migration advice professionals.
The Migration Agents Code of Conduct sets out the professional rules that a migration agent must follow in dealing with clients. It contains a clear statement of what you can expect from your migration agent in terms of work practices and our professional obligations to you. Further, if you are not happy with the work of your migration agent the Migration Agents Code of Conduct sets out how you can make a formal complaint to the Australian Government.
