Immigration support for businesses & individuals.

We're not your average immigration lawyers. And our clients aren’t just another matter or visa application.

Australia’s immigration system is complex – working with immigration lawyers shouldn’t be.

How we work.
Discovery

We get together on a phone call to discuss exactly what you need and how our team can help.

Planning

We’ll send you an email with a plan to approach your challenges and an upfront quote.

Advice

We provide clear and simple advice and give you a clear picture of your overall immigration strategy and break down the steps we need to take together.

Processing

Depending on your circumstances, we get to work initiating your file, reviewing your information, drafting and lodging your application and managing follow ups until we reach an outcome.

At Catalyst
We do things differently.

A small, but mighty, boutique law firm run by a resourceful team of sharp legal minds and backed by more than two decades of immigration experience — we’re as tenacious about getting results as we are devoted to genuinely supporting the people we work with.

Because for us, a successful outcome isn’t about racking up big billable hours or getting a tick in the right box. It’s about partnering with our clients to help people create a better future for themselves and their families.

It’s about being the safe pair of hands our clients need — so they don’t have to face their immigration challenges alone.

Although we take the work seriously, we know that being professional and dedicated to what we do doesn’t mean we have to take ourselves seriously.

Working with the Catalyst team means you won’t just get quality outcomes and strategic solutions, but trusted partners who are a pleasure to work with.

  • Checklists, how-to-guides and extra support for the more challenging parts of the process.
  • Updates and proactive communication at every stage of the journey.
  • Fixed costs and capped hourly fees so you know exactly what you’ll pay, right from the start.
