Providing immigration consulting services
When providing immigration consulting services, we may collect from you personal information such as name, address, telephone number, date of birth, marital status, passport number, employment history, educational background, tax status, employee number, job title and function, and expatriate status. Where required for the migration advice and services, we collect certain personal documents such as passport copies, educational documents, CVs, visa copies, birth certificates, and other documents.
We obtain your personal information from various sources, such as through our secure online portals, online questionnaires and forms you complete, and other information you provide directly to us, including by email or in conversation with our registered migration agent(s) or staff. Furthermore, we obtain personal information from third-party sources, such as former, current or prospective employers and educational institutions you attended.
The information we collect is used such that we provide you with immigration consulting services, which involve analysing, completing visa application forms for submission to the Department of Home Affairs and submissions to relevant government agencies, providing advice in relation to eligibility to obtain medical benefits via relevant immigration processes.
