  • Registered OMARA Migration Agent #2016053

  • Member of Migration Institute of Australia

  • Bachelor of Science (Hons) Information Systems Design - UK

  • Postgraduate Diploma in Migration Law and Practice - Australia

 

Hi, I'm Dianne
 

Before becoming a Registered Migration Agent, I completed my degree in London (UK) and spent several years working in the IT sector across diverse industries - including government, consultancy, and corporate banking - in South Africa, the UK, and Australia. This background taught me the value of precision, problem-solving, and clear communication, all of which now form the foundation of my migration practice.
 

In 2019, I completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Migration Law and Practice at Murdoch University, where I was awarded the School of Law Prize for Best Academic Performance. I maintain ongoing professional development to stay across Australia’s constantly evolving migration laws, ensuring my advice is always current and reliable.
 

Today, I work closely with both individuals and businesses on a wide range of migration matters. Whether it’s identifying the right visa pathway, preparing skills assessments, assisting businesses with sponsorship obligations, or supporting families throughout their migration journey, my focus is always on providing clear, honest, and tailored guidance.
 

I take great pride in offering a client-centred approach - understanding your goals, simplifying complex processes, and working proactively to achieve the best possible outcome.

Clients often tell me they appreciate my responsiveness, transparency, and genuine care throughout their application.

As a migrant myself, I know firsthand how significant and life-changing this process can be. It’s a privilege to help others take the next step toward visiting, working, studying, or building a new life in Australia—the “Lucky Country.”
 

If you’re looking for support that is knowledgeable, dependable, and compassionate, I’m here to help you navigate every step of your migration journey with confidence.

STEVEN HOWELLS

Business Development Manager

  • Bachelor of Electrical and Electronic Engineering with Systems for Environmental Services

  • Qualified Electrical Tradesman

    Hi, I'm Steven

    After completing two years of national service in South Africa, I started my career as an electrician, completing a trade apprenticeship and qualifying as a trade-tested electrician.

    I spent nine years working in London as an electrician, followed by eight years as a project manager back in South Africa - mostly in the mining and industrial sectors - before making the big move to Australia with my family in 2007.

    Since settling in Australia, I’ve held various roles in project management and engineering within the mining industry, and more recently have focused on contract and asset management in the public sector.

    In addition to my role as Business Development Manager, I also assist clients with both professional and trade skills assessments, helping them take the next step in their migration journey.

Why work with a Registered Migration Agent?

​

Expert Know-How
Registered migration agents are trained in Australian migration law and stay up to date with the latest rules and policy changes. They know the system inside out and can help find the best visa options for your unique situation.
 

Personalised Support
No two migration journeys are the same. A registered agent takes the time to understand your goals and background to give you advice that’s tailored specifically to you.
 

Save Time & Reduce Stress
Visa applications can be time-consuming and confusing. Having a migration agent on your side means you’ll save hours of research and paperwork – and feel much less overwhelmed along the way.


Get It Right the First Time
Agents help make sure your application is complete, accurate, and meets all the required standards, giving you the best shot at success from the start.
 

We Deal with the Department for You
Your agent can talk directly to the Department of Home Affairs on your behalf – tracking your application, sorting out any issues, and keeping you updated.
 

Stay on the Right Side of the Law
Migration agents help make sure your application follows all the legal and procedural requirements, which can reduce the chance of delays or refusals.
 

Ethical & Professional Service
Registered agents must follow a strict Code of Conduct – meaning they act professionally, ethically, and always with your best interests at heart.
 

Support if Things Don’t Go to Plan
If your visa is refused, a registered agent can walk you through your options and help with appeals where possible.
