Simon Mander is a Registered Migration Agent (MARN 0318058) with more than 23 years' experience in Australian migration law, and Director of Simon Mander Consulting P/L, with offices in Adelaide and Darwin. His practice covers skilled migration and state nomination, employer sponsorship and labour agreements, partner and family visas, and appeals to the Administrative Review Tribunal. A substantial part of his work involves matters that have already gone wrong elsewhere, refusals, cancellations and applications that have stalled - where the question is what can still be salvaged rather than where to begin. Simon works extensively with the South Australian and Northern Territory Designated Area Migration Agreements, which allow employers in both jurisdictions to sponsor workers in occupations and at salary levels that fall outside the standard programme. He opened the Darwin office specifically to work with Territory employers facing persistent skills shortages. Every matter is quoted as a fixed fee before any work begins, so clients know their total cost at the outset. Advice is provided in writing.
