What the Partner Visa Lawyer guide is

PartnerVisaLawyer.com.au is a guide to legal help with Australian partner visas: an information publisher with a private enquiry form, not a law firm, a directory or an agency. Its pages explain legal work and sources; they do not assess a reader’s eligibility or give advice on their own circumstances.

Under Migration Act 1958 s 276, using knowledge of migration procedure to prepare or advise on a visa or sponsorship application is immigration assistance. That individual work belongs with the lawyer, not the guide.

Is PartnerVisaLawyer.com.au a law firm?

No. PartnerVisaLawyer.com.au is an information guide about legal help with Australian partner visas. The registered law firm is Australian Legal Partnership Pty Ltd (ACN 656 815 539), trading as Australian Migration Lawyers, and the enquiry form sends private questions to it.

Who receives enquiries

Submitted enquiries are addressed to Australian Migration Lawyers, the registered law firm for this guide. A browser reference confirms send acceptance, not that the practice has read or agreed to act on a message. The guide itself does not assess cases.

The ask about your partner visa page has the shared enquiry form. Advice on your own case comes from an Australian migration lawyer.

Who reads my enquiry?

Submitted questions are addressed to Australian Migration Lawyers; the guide itself does not give individual advice.

How pages are researched, dated and updated

The guide uses legislation and government sources:

1. Start with primary sources. Research uses the Migration Act 1958, compilation 171, and the Migration Regulations 1994, compilation 288, alongside Home Affairs, Administrative Review Tribunal (ART), Federal Circuit and Family Court, and related government pages. The source research supplied for these pages was read on 3 October 2026.

2. Date changing information. Every charge, fee, deadline and processing time carries an “as at” date, so readers can distinguish a dated figure from a current quote.

3. Separate legal fees from government charges. The lawyer’s fee is stated separately from Home Affairs and tribunal charges. A partner visa with Australian Migration Lawyers usually costs $14,000 plus GST, and a written quote sets the scope for your matter.

4. Follow an update schedule. Fee and charge tables are scheduled for checking in the first week of July. Review and processing pages are scheduled for updating within 48 hours of a new Ministerial Direction or ART practice direction. Every core page is checked at least every 90 days.

5. Limit external links. External links lead only to government and education sites.

How current are the figures?

Each figure carries its “as at” date. Charges and fees are re-checked in the first week of July; readers should use the date attached to the particular figure, not assume every page was checked today.
