Our Commitment to Your Privacy

At Jurist Migration & Education, we are committed to safeguarding the confidentiality, security, and privacy of our clients and website visitors. This Privacy Policy sets out how we collect, use, store, disclose, and protect your personal and sensitive information in strict compliance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the Migration Act 1958, and the regulatory standards set by the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (OMARA).

Effective & Last Updated: September 2026

To provide expert Australian immigration advice, assess your visa eligibility, and represent you before the Department of Home Affairs (DoHA), State/Territory nomination bodies, skills assessing authorities, and tribunals (such as the Administrative Review Tribunal – ART), we collect comprehensive personal, professional, and demographic details, including:

• Identity Information: Full legal name, aliases, date of birth, gender, marital status, nationality, passport details, national identity cards, and biometric identifiers.
• Contact Information: Residential and postal addresses, email addresses, primary and mobile telephone numbers, and emergency contact details.
• Immigration & Visa History: Current visa status, past visa grant notices, subclass numbers, entry/exit movements records, and any records of previous visa refusals, cancellations, or compliance matters.
• Qualifications & Employment: Academic degrees, transcripts, educational certificates, English proficiency test scores (IELTS, PTE, TOEFL), professional CV/resumes, employment contracts, pay slips, tax records, and skills assessment outcome letters.
• Financial & Sponsorship Details: Bank statements, proof of funds, sponsor financial declarations, business ownership records, and consultation fee transaction confirmations.
• Sensitive Information: Where directly necessary for your visa application (e.g. medical examination records, police clearance character certificates, relationship evidence for Partner Visas), collected strictly with your informed consent.

We use your personal information exclusively for purposes directly related to our professional immigration, education, and legal consultancy services:

We do not sell, rent, trade, or commercialize your personal information to third parties under any circumstances. We only disclose your personal information to authorized external bodies when necessary to carry out your migration instructions:

• Australian Government Authorities: The Australian Department of Home Affairs (DoHA), Australian Border Force (ABF), and State/Territory government migration agencies.
• Skills Assessing Authorities: Bodies such as VETASSESS, Australian Computer Society (ACS), Trades Recognition Australia (TRA), Engineers Australia (EA), and ANMAC to process your formal skills assessment.
• Appeals & Review Tribunals: The Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) or relevant judicial bodies if we are instructed to lodge a merits review or appeal on your behalf.
• Authorized Service Providers: NAATI-accredited translators, educational institutions, or medical assessment clinics where required for your application with your express consent.
• Statutory Legal Mandates: Where disclosure is authorized or required by law, court order, or official regulatory audit by OMARA.

We implement industry-grade technical, administrative, and physical security measures to protect your documents and sensitive records from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure:

Under the Migration Agents Code of Conduct (OMARA), Registered Migration Agents are legally required to securely retain client records, matter files, and financial statements for a minimum period of 7 years from the date of case completion or closure.

After the mandatory statutory retention period has elapsed, files and records that are no longer required are securely and permanently destroyed or de-identified in accordance with Australian data disposal guidelines.

Under the Australian Privacy Principles, you have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, or request corrections if you believe any detail is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, or misleading.

To submit an access or correction request, please write to our Privacy Officer at info@juristmigration.com.au. We will respond within 30 business days and assist promptly.
