Greetings to all our valued readers,
New legal team members
AFFMA is delighted to welcome four new volunteer Migration Agents and two new legal assistants to the legal team, allowing us to service the steady stream of referrals from other agencies who support refugees.
Additional volunteer migration agents are welcome to apply to join the team.
Financial overheads
The entire legal, admin, marketing, newsletter, and finance teams consist of volunteers, meaning that AFFMA has no staffing costs. This is what allows us to provide fee-free legal services to our clients. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for our office overheads, such as rent, stationery, telephone, postage, the internet, and multiple insurances.

Partner visas
We have also expanded our services to include partner visas. This is particularly important for our clients who wish to begin a new life in Australia with their partners by their side.
