Who We Are
Reach Out Migration is a family business that loves to help families migrate to Australia.
We are based in Canberra, the nation’s capital, and specialise in achieving permanent residency for our clients through either the General Skilled Migration, Employer Nomination Scheme or Family streams. Our business has grown quickly over recent years through referrals from very satisfied clients, yet still maintains the ability to offer personalised care and attention to each and every client.
Reach Out Migration’s Principal Practitioner is Angelica (‘Gigi’) O’Sullivan MARN 0961119 and her MARA registration information can be found here.
As a registered migration agent, Gigi is qualified to help you with your visa application and can deal with the Department of Immigration and Border Protection and other organisations, such as assessing authorities and State and Territory agencies, for you.
At Reach Out Migration, we must meet professional standards and will only encourage you to proceed with an application if you have a realistic chance of being granted a visa. We will work with you every step of the way, making sure you feel completely informed, involved and in control.
