About the Australian Capital Territory
The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) is situated within New South Wales, with the capital Canberra surrounding Lake Burley Griffin, which is man-made. The population has a higher proportion of young adults than the national average and about one-fifth of ACT residents also speak a second language, other than English, at home.
With the ACT effectively being a city-state, nearly half of all jobs are in government and government services, and many more depend on government purchases. The economy fluctuates with changes in the rate of growth in government employment and in government-funded construction activities. Measures have been taken to attract more businesses in the private sector to the region, which has increased private employment.
Who can assist with your visa application?
There are plenty of horror stories of failed migration attempts and people parting with large sums of money only to be disappointed.
You can easily prevent this from happening to you by following two golden rules:
- Golden Rule 1
Only deal with licensed immigration agents!
You can look for agents on the official MARA website. If an agent isn't listed, it means it is not a licensed agent you're dealing with.
Intergate Emigration has three fully licensed advisers. You can view their details here.
- Golden Rule 2
Do not let agents outside of Australia with an Australian DIBP Offshore ID fool you! DIBP numbers look official but are not.
Migration agents who operate outside of Australian do not have to be registered with the Office of MARA.
The DIBP numbers are only issued for administrative purposes. These numbers do not represent an endorsement by the Australian government of the agent.
In short – you are not dealing with a registered agent and your agent does not have the backing of MARA.
