LennyFF Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Hey everyone! Just come across this forum. Me and my partner are looking to migrate to Oz next year - he is a working electrician and I am self employed. I’ve been reading through all the information online and still find things a tad confusing. 2 things!! 1. We attended a Expo in Manchester and came across ‘Down Under Centre’ www.downundercentre.com - Anyone used or heard of them? They seem fairly local to us and good testimonials??!! 2. Did people go through their organisation and things all alone or use a company to help with organising and recommendations. I’m pretty sure we will go down the route of using a company to help. Will keep you guys updated on what we find out, if anyone has used them before please let me know!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Personally I've never heard of them. Make sure whatever agent is doing your actual work is MARA registered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srg73 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 MARA is the key. There are agents closer to you such as Thanes Migration who were great for us and based in Twickenham. S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have one in Ealing London. The team that helped us were really good. Once we completed this part with them, my wife sorted the actual visa application herself. A very straight forward process. If you need help them please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need help them please let me know. The Ealing centre is exactly who I'm referring to! Great to hear your review of them - We have been in to talk to them since this post and the process seems really slick! We will definitely be using them to go through the skills assessment process for my husband! Will keep you updated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozmaniac Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 What does MARA stand for? MARA is the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority - it's an Australian government body. https://www.mara.gov.au/ MARA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
