You are welcome to bring a support person, or request any special adjustments for your appointment

*** Due to COVID, we offer online appointments (or in person by request). You don’t have to come to campus and you can seek legal advice if you are outside Canberra or overseas (about a legal issue in Australia).***

Feedback from students:

ANUSA Legal Service Migration & Visa Advice

MARA Code of Conduct.

 

If you need help with skilled migration, the temporary graduate visa or other long term visas we provide a Migration Workshop which is the best place to start. We ask that students first attend the Migration Workshop before making a booking, if the Migration Workshop is running. Contact our office for further details. 

You must be a current student at ANU to attend a migration workshop.

ANUSA has been providing legal services to ANU students for over a decade and a half.
