Australian Immigration Companion

This text book is a collaborative initiative of the MIA, FCG Legal and Victoria University's, Sir Zelman Cowen Centre. It has been developed to assist migration practitioners to understand Australian migration law in a practical and real-life context. The book will be an invaluable companion for students studying the entry level course (Graduate Certificate in Australian Migration Law and Practice) prescribed by the MARA. However we also believe that practising agents or newly registered lawyers will find it a useful aid in their work and professional development.

* Chapter 1 - An introduction to Australian Migration Law
* Chapter 2 - An overview of Australia's visa scheme and application procedures
* Chapter 3 - Scenario questions classified by migration theme
* Chapter 4 - Suggested solutions to the practical problems
* Appendices - Legislative and other useful references

The book will be sold through the MIA. Cost for MIA Members and Graduate Certificate students is $65 including postage within Australia. Cost for non-members is $95.
