Migration Assistance

NSW Trade & Investment does not provide a general migration assistance service. The Department can provide specific advice on NSW state sponsorship.

NSW Trade & Investment has access to information from the Commonwealth Government of Australia on Australian migration law and may forward information to you as a general guide or make suggestions as to possible avenues for application. It is recommended that you obtain specific advice relevant to your circumstances from a registered migration agent. For a list of registered migration agents visit www.mara.gov.au.
