Our Migration Service

Need help with a visa?

TEP (formerly Stablemate) has been dealing with DIAC (the Department of Immigration and Citizenship) regularly since 1996 through its exchange program, and has offered professional migration assistance since 2002. We have two qualified and experienced Migration Agents on hand to help with any queries you have relating to visa applications and Australian migration law -

Brenda McDonough (Migration Agent Registration Number 0213896)
Karen Bromham (Migration Agent Registration Number 0637810)

TEP offers migration advice in many categories (including family and spouse migration) and to many industries (including all rural, equine and mining industries).

The company has an excellent migration success story, having lodged over 1500 visas in permanent and temporary categories securing a successful ending. Additionally, we have had to date a 100% success rate with all applications lodged with DIAC that have not been withdrawn by the client. We have many corporate clients from both the business world and horse industry including the likes of Inghams, Gai Waterhouse Racing, Freedman Brothers, David Hayes Racing, Emirates, Coolmore and Darley.

All migration agents in Australia are bound by a Code of Conduct. More information on the Code of Conduct and the role of migration agents can be found on the Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA) website.
