In order to be granted a visa to Australia, you must pass the “Character Test” and be of ‘good character’.

If you are charged with Malicious Property Damage, Actual Bodily Harm (ABH), Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH), Offensive Language, Drug Possession, Drugs, Drug Use, Intent to Supply, Intend to Supply, Section 10, Good Behaviour Bond, Community Service, Common Assault, Theft, Violence, Extortion, Driving Offences, Drink Driving, Assault, Firearms, Fraud, Murder, Manslaughter or Speeding we can help you crafting a strong legal submission to get your visa.

At times, people can fail the character test if they have a significant criminal history under Section 501 of the Migration Act 1958. In these instances, a submission is required to Immigration to show that you are of ‘good character’ and that you will not present a threat to the Australian community.

In other scenarios, even if you may pass the ‘Character Test’ and just have a small conviction or offence, Immigration may still question you about the incident and what occurred. Our firm also has experience in these circumstances where we need to prepare a submission to show that you are of ‘good character’ and that you will not present a threat to the Australian community.

We have vast experience in Character/ S501 submissions, where we have successfully helped people gain their visas and permanent residency.

Character/ S501 submissions are a complex specimen that requires thorough analysis, case law and persuasion to convince Immigration (Department of Home Affairs).
