Migration
Australia is one of the world’s most desirable destinations, known for its quality of life, strong economy, and cultural diversity. There are a number of migration pathways available, whether you are looking to work, study, join family, or build a new future here. Many visa options also provide a pathway to permanent residency, giving you the security and opportunity to make Australia your long-term home.
Types of Visas
Australia offers a wide range of visa options to suit different circumstances and goals. Whether you are seeking to reunite with family, build your career, invest in business, or pursue education, there is likely a visa pathway available. At Tern Legal, we can guide you through the categories most relevant to your situation, including:
Student
For individuals seeking to pursue recognised courses of study in Australia, including higher education, vocational training, school programs, English language courses, and postgraduate research.
Skilled & Work
For skilled professionals and workers who bring valuable expertise to Australia across a range of industries and regions.
Partner & Family
For joining loved ones in Australia, whether you are a partner, child, or parent of an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen.
Protection
For individuals seeking safety in Australia due to persecution or serious harm in their home country.

Appeals and Reviews
If your visa application has been refused or your visa cancelled, you may have the right to seek a review at the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART). At Tern Legal, we understand how stressful this process can be and provide clear, strategic guidance to help you present the strongest possible case. From preparing submissions to representing you at hearings, we are here to support you every step of the way.
If your appeal is unsuccessful, you may still have further options, such as judicial review in the Federal Court, requesting Ministerial Intervention, or in some cases lodging a new visa application.
