Our lawyers can explain the relevant eligibility requirements during your consultation.

Waiting for your visa outcome in Brisbane
Visa application processing times for applicants in Brisbane and Queensland when being assessed by the Department of Home Affairs. Whilst this is outside of our hands, we understand that key factors impacting the time for the Department to process a visa can depend on the type of visa subclass that you are applying for, the volume of recent applications, the strength of the evidence you present, and more. While some of these factors are beyond your control, we can help you to ensure that you meet all requirements and provide ample supporting evidence to reduce potential delays.
We will give you insights on the recent processing time for your visa at your initial consultation.

Brisbane’s migration story
Brisbane's migration history is characterised by a diverse and evolving tapestry of cultures. The city's indigenous heritage dates back thousands of years, with the local Indigenous people, including the Jagera and Turrbal, being the first inhabitants. European settlement began in the early 19th century, attracting British settlers seeking new opportunities. In the 20th century, waves of immigrants arrived from various parts of Europe, contributing to the city's multicultural makeup.
Brisbane continues to welcome migrants from around the world, adding to its vibrant and inclusive community.
We support the LGBTIQ+ community across Australia
