Accredited Specialists in Immigration Law (ASIL)
The Law Societies of New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia, and the Law Institute of Victoria, operate Specialist Accreditation schemes in several practice areas, including for Immigration Law.
These schemes are designed to recognise specialist experience and proficiency and allow the lawyers who meet their requirements to use "Accredited Specialist, Immigration Law" in their official materials and a Specialist Accreditation logo to promote their services.
The Specialist in Immigration Law Accreditation generally requires solicitors to demonstrate five years' experience as a full time practitioner, and three years' experience specialising in immigration law, and to pass an examination.
The MIA Members listed below are Accredited Specialists in Immigration Law. While the Institute endeavours to maintain an accurate and up to date listing, the nature of the specialist accreditation scheme means that it cannot guarantee this list's accuracy.
All Accredited Specialist members must confirm their status with the MIA to be listed. Please contact the MIA if you consider there to be errors or omissions below. Refer to the individual law societies for current listings of Accredited Specialists in the respective States.
