grahamandtracey Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 hi all hope life is treating you well out there in Australia, Anybody know how much the average agent fees are at the moment just a ball park figure would be fine ..we already know the cost of medicals and the CPV so just the actual fee an agent would charge cheers all Graham and Tracey x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jodipodi Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Hi!! Agents fees vary dependant on what you've already done yourself, what stage you're at, how much support you need and stuff like that.....but an initial assessment will probably set you back about $200 I think, in which they will assess your situation and provide possible strategies and a layout of fees if you wish to proceed. Fees are usually paid in instalments. Eg: first payment on accepting the agent, second on submitting skills assessment, third on successful skills assessment, fourth as a progression payment, then a final payment on submitting visa application etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNC FABS Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 £3k would be a good ballpark for a start to finish skills based permanent visa. For agents part of fees alone. As you say, plus: medical. ielts, visa fee, postage, skills test, bottle of fizz ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNC FABS Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Other point to make, even if not relevant. Agents are just that and not a definitive authority. The first agent I contacted (a well know one on these boards, no names) and filled in the online assessment. Called me back to explain I was unlikely to get enough points, due to work experience and formal training. Had no chance of a 189 visa and may just get a sniff of a sponsored option in the future. So I went with another well known (John Adams) and as timeline indicates, had no hassle with a 189 visa. :cute: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABG Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I was quoted £1700 a couple weeks ago for a 190 where I had already done skills assessment and they would pick up from State sponsorship, EOI and main application. Think it would have been 2200 if they did everything. This was only their charge, visa fees etc on top of that.
