"The Migration Institute of Australia is the professional association for Australian Migration service providers worldwide working together for the benefit of Australia."

The MIA represents over 1,400 registered migration agents who provide professional migration services to families, businesses and industries throughout Australia.

We liaise with government departments on behalf of our members providing a forum for communication and a platform for submissions on aspects of migration policies and programs.

All MIA members undertake Continuing Professional Development (CPD), a training program initiated by the MIA to promote a high standard of excellence in education and services in the Migration Industry.

The MIA set and administer standards for the conduct of members who commit to operate in accordance with our Code of Conduct.

The Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs appointed MIA as the Migration Agents Registration Authority in March 1998."
