Disclaimer
Last updated 13 October 2026
The information on this website is general information only. It is not migration advice, and it does not take your personal circumstances into account.
General information, not advice
This website explains Australian visas and the way Altus Migration Services works in general terms. It is not immigration assistance or legal advice. Every situation is different, so please get advice about your own circumstances from a registered migration agent or an Australian legal practitioner before you act.
Using this website, or sending us a general question, does not make you a client of Altus Migration Services. We give advice about your situation in a paid consultation, and we act on your application only after you have signed a written service agreement.
Migration law changes often
Visa requirements, occupation lists, government fees and processing times change often, sometimes without notice. We review this website regularly, but information here may be out of date by the time you read it. For current processing times, see the Department of Home Affairs global visa processing times. For official information, see the Department of Home Affairs website.
No guarantee of outcome
Decisions about visas and citizenship are made by the Department of Home Affairs, the Minister or the Administrative Review Tribunal. No registered migration agent can guarantee that an application will succeed, and nothing on this website is a promise of any result.
Not a government website
Altus Migration Services is a private business. We are not part of, or endorsed by, the Department of Home Affairs or any other government agency.
External links
We link to government and other websites for your convenience. We are not responsible for their content, and a link does not mean we endorse a website or its owner.
Liability
To the extent the law allows, Altus Migration Services is not responsible for any loss caused by relying on the general information on this website. This does not limit your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
