Australian Immigration Events

Pretoria and Cape Town August 2025 Highlights

Over the past week, our team has been on the ground in South Africa for a series of Australian immigration events. We met incredible people, answered thoughtful questions, and helped families take real steps toward moving to Australia.

We kicked things off at the Pretoria Emigration Expo (1–2 August), where we partnered with Trade Skills Australia and spoke with hundreds of skilled professionals about migration and skills recognition. It was a full two days of meaningful conversations and valuable connections.

On Sunday, 3 August, we hosted a focused immigration seminar in Lynnwood, Pretoria. The room was packed with motivated individuals and families ready to learn more about skilled migration, visa options, and what to expect from life in Australia.

Then it was on to Cape Town, where we wrapped up our visit with another in-person seminar on 7 August. Just like Pretoria, the energy was high and the questions were honest and thoughtful, exactly what we love to see.

Each event reminded us why we do what we do: to provide clear advice, help people make informed decisions, and support them every step of the way.

More Cases

Automatic Visa Cancellation

A father came to Australia on a student visa together with his family. He then abandoned them and disappeared. A year later, without warning, the Department of Home Affairs automatically cancelled the visas of the mother and her three children.

Health Waiver (Autistic Child)

An IT professional had been working in Australia for 10 years. He had left his autistic child in the Philippines because his medical condition failed the health requirement. The risk in applying for the permanent visa was the “one fail, all fail” rule – his autistic child would result in the refusal of the whole family.

Health Waiver (Rare Blood Condition)

A beef processing farm in NSW urgently needed a Production Manager with meat manufacturing experience. We identified a highly qualified candidate who was soon offered the position with visa sponsorship. However, the process became more complex when it was discovered that his young son had a rare blood condition that did not satisfy the health requirements. We put forward a strong argument requesting a health waiver which involved demonstrating that the condition wouldn’t place undue demands on Australia’s healthcare system.

Case Study – Mining Industry

A company that supplies mining services in Western Australia were experiencing challenges in retaining mobile plant operators. Their workforce consisted of veteran staff and high turnover working-holiday people. The company engaged us to provide a migration solution and assist in recruiting experienced international workers.​
