Help with early stages of applying for a visa

[The Simpsons]

Hi guys and gals
Havent yet started the application process - has anyone out there got any helpful hints and tips? We've seen there are a lot of agencies who go through the process for you - can anyone recommend any of them? My hubbie was in Oz for 3 months a few years ago now but loves Perth and thats where ideally we'd like to go... but we really are in the early days so anyone's advice would be really helpful... look forward to hearing from you all!!

Hiya Sam,

Theres so many Agents out there aren't there, it's hard to know where to start. Have a good search through PIO and I reckon you'll soon get a feel for who the more 'reputable' agents are. We're with Ian Harrop who have been fantastic, but lots of people also swear by Go Matilda and I've seen some good stuff coming through on Visa Bureau as well. Best of luck with it all,
