Please be aware that visa approvals are solely at the discretion of the Department of Home Affairs, and no guarantee of a successful visa outcome can be provided. Likewise, there is no assurance of a positive outcome for Skills Assessments, Expressions of Interest (EOI), or Registrations of Interest submitted to State or Territory governments.

8. Jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. Any disputes will be resolved under the jurisdiction of the courts of Sydney, NSW.

9. Amendments

We reserve the right to update these terms and conditions at any time. The version in force at the time of your booking will apply to that consultation.

10. Refunds

  • Consultation fees are generally non-refundable, as time is reserved exclusively for you and preliminary case assessment begins once a booking is confirmed.
  • A refund may be issued under the following circumstances:
    • If 26 Degrees Migration cancels the consultation and is unable to reschedule;
    • If an administrative error occurs on our part (e.g. duplicate booking or overpayment);
    • If a refund is required under Australian Consumer Law (e.g. failure to deliver the agreed service).
  • Refunds will be processed using the same method of payment used for the original transaction.
  • Refunds will be issued within 5–10 business days of approval.

  • The Full name and relationship of the person you are authorising
  • A statement confirming that you authorise them to act or speak on your behalf regarding your migration matter
