Immigration Advocacy & Government Relations
Strategic government relations and policy advocacy for employers seeking constructive changes to visa programs and industry-wide reforms.
We engage with government bodies on behalf of corporate clients to advocate for constructive changes to employer-sponsored visa programs. Our team collaborates with multiple organisations in target industries to gather comprehensive feedback and develop formal submissions to policymakers.
Our approach involves working with clients to identify current program challenges, consolidating feedback from industry peers, and preparing detailed submissions outlining industry experiences and recommended policy changes. This coordinated advocacy strategy amplifies organisational voices and demonstrates sector-wide needs to government decision-makers.
Individual submissions have impact; coordinated industry submissions have much more — and we have the experience to organise them.
