Why use a Migration Agent?

The Cultura team has more than 30 years experience providing migration support to the Geelong community. In the past year alone we have assisted over 4000 people with settlement services and community programs. Our Migration Agents can make the process faster, easier, and offer you a better chance of a successful outcome.

Making a complaint
If you are not happy with a registered Migration Agent’s service or advice you should contact your Agent first to give them an opportunity to resolve your concern.
