What is Migration Law?

Migration Law regulates rights around people entering and remaining in Australia. There are special requirements about giving Migration Law advice – we strongly recommend seeing a migration lawyer or a registered migration agent.

Some examples of Migration Law matters include questions about a visa, changes to family circumstances, and impacts of domestic, family and sexual violence.

TEWLS can help people identifying as women in the Northern Territory who –

  • Hold a temporary visa or have no visa; AND
  • Are escaping a violent relationship (experiencing domestic, family and sexual violence).
