Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA)
The Migration Institute of Australia was appointed to undertake the role of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (the Authority). The functions of the Authority include registration and the initiation of disciplinary action against registered migration agents. The Authority replaced the Migration Agents Registration Board and moved the profession from statutory regulation to statutory self-regulation.
Migration Review Tribunal (MRT) - Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT)
The Migration Review Tribunal (the MRT) and the Refugee Review Tribunal (the RRT) provide an independent and final merits review of decisions made in relation to visas to travel to, enter or stay in Australia. The MRT reviews decisions made in respect of general visas (e.g. visitor, student, partner, family, business, skilled visas) and the RRT deals with decisions made in respect of protection (refugee) visas.
