Migration
Advice
The MIC has two migration agents who offer free migration
advice to humanitarian entrants who have lived in Australia
for less than five years and who are seeking to sponsor relatives
or partners from overseas for permanent residence in Australia.
This program is funded under the Department of Immigration
and Citizenship (DIAC) Settlement Grants Program. The MIC
can not provide advice to people seeking to settle in Australia
from overseas.
The MIC also receives funding from the Department of Immigration
and Citizenship (DIAC) under the Immigration Advice and Application
Assistance Scheme (IAAAS) to provide assistance to protection
visa applicants and non protection visa applicants to lodge
their applications with DIAC and to provide migration advice
for sponsors of a spouse or a family member. To be eligible
for this service you need to live in the Eastern suburbs of
Melbourne, be on a low income and have no disposable assets.
In addition you need to meet one of the following criteria:
You do not speak English;
You cannot seek independent help because of youth or cultural
difficulties such as gender;
You are illiterate in your native language and/or principal
language in your country of origin;
You have a physical or psychological disability, including
