GENERAL INFORMATION

If you are an asylum seeker seeking legal assistance, we ask you that you consult these pages to inform yourself of the legal options available to you before contacting RACS.

What we do:

RACS may;
  • assist you in lodging a Protection Visa application,
  • assist you in preparing for interviews with the Department of Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs and attend these interviews and discuss the decision with you, and
  • assist you in applications to the Refugee Review Tribunal, should an application be necessary, as well as attend your hearing at the Refugee Review Tribunal.
What we do not do:

RACS will not assist you in applying for visas that are not associated with claims for refugee status. For free general immigration advice contact the Immigration Advice and Rights Centre Level 4, 414 Elizabeth St, Surry Hills on 9281 1609.

RACS does not provide advice about Judicial Review (ie. appeals to the Federal Magistates Court, the Federal Court or the High Court).

RACS will cease acting for you if;
  • you insist on RACS making false representations on your behalf,
  • you engage a new migration agent,
  • you lose contact with us for more than 6 months when we have been trying to contact you, or
  • there is a conflict of interest for RACS between you and another client.
