Do you want to make a difference in the way that the Australian migration program works for regional Australia? Does the thought of working with business, industry, government, and other key stakeholders to create new migration opportunities for regional Australia resonate with you? If so, we want to hear from you.
About Migration Solutions Migration Solutions is working in partnership with Thomson Geer, a major national Australian law firm enabling Migration Solutions to continue to build our national footprint and client base.
