Counsellors, Social Workers and Welfare Professionals Migrating to Australia
Migrating to Australia as a counsellor, social worker or welfare professional involves more than finding your job title on an occupation list. Your qualifications, professional experience, actual duties and available evidence can all affect which occupation is appropriate — and whether you can satisfy the relevant skills assessment requirements.
Thinking Outside the Checklist: When Atypical Evidence Can Strengthen an Australian Migration Application
What happens when the evidence normally expected for an Australian visa or migration application simply does not exist?

Do My Partner and I Need to Live Together to Prove a De Facto Relationship?
Do you need to live with your partner to establish a de facto relationship for Australian migration purposes? Not necessarily. Couples may live apart because of distance, work, study, cultural or religious expectations or other circumstances. What matters is whether the relationship meets the relevant visa requirements and can be supported by appropriate evidence.
