Deregulation. A small but significant change.

From 22 March 2021 Hammond Taylor will operate as a law firm rather than as a migration agency. The reason for this change is that on 22 March 2021 a new law, passed by Federal Parliament, comes into effect. This law removes the requirement for lawyers to hold migration agent registration to practice in the area of immigration law. In our industry this is known as the 'end of dual regulation.'

All our migration agents are already registered lawyers and maintain the highest standard of ethics and professional practice. The removal of the migration agent title does not change our ability to assist you. Our staff remain  qualified and authorised to assist with visa applications, appeals and other migration matters as before.
