Job summary

Outstaffer.com is seeking a dedicated professional to manage migration matters end-to-end for an Australian practice. You will prepare and progress visa applications across several categories and collaborate with Registered Migration Agents to ensure files are complete and review-ready.

You will handle client communications, ensure consistency across sponsorships and visas, and perform rigorous quality control before practitioner review.

Qualifications

• Substantial case-management, paralegal or comparable professional experience.
• Excellent written and spoken English, with exceptional attention to detail.
• Strong document-management and analytical skills, with the ability to spot inconsistencies across large volumes of information.
• Confidence managing multiple matters and deadlines independently.
• Sound judgement about when to escalate — you understand the line between case management and legal advice.
• Previous experience with an Australian migration agency, immigration law firm, or offshore team supporting Australian migration professionals — particularly with employer-sponsored (482/186) matters or ImmiAccount and similar case-management systems.
• A legal, paralegal, or business qualification is a plus, but hands-on Australian migration case-management experience will be valued just as highly

Responsibilities

• Manage allocated migration matters end-to-end — from opening new files through to lodgement and post-lodgement follow-up
• Prepare visa applications across categories such as employer-sponsored (482, 186, 494), partner, student, visitor and skilled migration visas
• Support employer-sponsored and nomination matters, ensuring consistency across sponsorship, nomination and visa components
• Prepare partner and family migration evidence, including relationship chronologies and draft statutory declarations
• Maintain proactive client communication — chasing documents, providing updates, and knowing exactly when to escalate a substantive question to the supervising practitioner
• Run quality control on every file before it reaches the practitioner: checking completeness, consistency, and flagging outstanding issues clearly
