Expert Help for Your Australian Visa—With Honesty, Skill, and Real Experience
Hi, I’m Cathrine Burnett, a Registered Migration Agent and I help people like you cut through the confusion of Australia’s immigration system and get real results.
Whether you’re applying for the first time, facing a visa refusal, or just need clear guidance, I bring a rare mix of legal expertise, government experience, and personal dedication to every case.
Why people choose me:
Decisions aren't a mystery to me—I've made them.
As a former Tribunal Member at the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, I’ve reviewed and ruled on complex visa cases. I know exactly what decision-makers look for.
Proven legal expertise.
I hold a Master of Laws (Migration) from ANU, Australia’s top university, and received the Fragomen Prize for academic excellence in migration law.
I’ve been a public advocate at the highest level.
As a former State Member of Parliament for Eastern Victoria, I know how to fight for people—and win. That same drive powers every client relationship.
I genuinely care about people’s stories.
For over 12 years, I volunteered with Casey Cardinia Legal Service, helping CALD women on temporary visas facing family violence. I take the time to listen, and I don’t treat clients like numbers.
I know the law—and how to communicate it.
I’ve contributed to government-led migration publications and regularly advise on legal policy. You're not just getting help filling out forms—you're getting high-level strategic advice.
And I bring immigration stories to life.
I’m also a filmmaker. My short film The Last Time I Saw You won awards for telling a raw, real migration story.
What I can help with:
Partner visas
Visitor visas
Skilled migration
Visa refusals & appeals
Employer-sponsored visas
Humanitarian & family migration
Strategic advice for complex or sensitive cases
Citizenship
I’ve supported thousands of clients from all over the world, including those facing tight deadlines, tricky documentation, or prior refusals.
You only get one shot at a visa. Make sure it’s done right.
No jargon. No false promises. Just transparent, personalised advice from someone who knows how to get results.
Book your free consultation today—and let’s make this journey easier, together.
Warm regards,
Cathrine Burnett LL.M

FAQs
No. While a Registered Migration Agent can represent you at the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT), only an Immigration Lawyer can represent you in court for a judicial review. For complex cases involving visa refusals or legal appeals, a lawyer’s ability to navigate the court system and provide legally privileged communication is a significant advantage.
