As provided bypart 1.8 of the code the compliance with the code does not displace any other liability whichmay be imposed on the agents through the provisions of the Criminal Code Act 1995, TradePractices Act 1974 and Crimes Act 1914 for unregistered practices and misleadingstatements2. There are several procedures which must be complied by a migration agent when it comesto providing immigration assistance. Firstly there must be an agreement between the clientand the agents in relation to what services are to be provided by the agent and the feescharged by them. All registered migration agents in Australia have the duty to inform thedepartment through Form 956 that they are about to provide immigration assistance to aclient according to the requirements under section 312 of the Act3. The notification has to beprovided when a written authorization of the client is obtained to act on behalf of him afterthey reach an agreement. Another important procedural requirement which you should be aware about is the“statement of services”. The statement is a written undertaking which has to be provided byan agent to the client mandatorily in accordance with Section 313 of the Act. The statementconsists of description about each and every service which would be undertaken by the agenton behalf of the client along with fees and expenses which would be required for thementioned services. You have to be very serious regarding the statement of services as if thisdocument is not provided to the client you may lose authority to claim your fees or even theout of pocket expenses paid by you. Thus it is recommended that you provide the companywith a statement of services including the services you would undertake to apply for a WorkSkilled Temporary Subclass 457 visa along with the details of the expenses to be incurred bythe company for each service to ensure transparency.
