What Australian Migration Consultants does

Australian Migration Consultants (AMC) is a privately held, founder-led migration consultancy established in 2008 by Dr. Manjula Kulatunga, headquartered in Mount Waverley, Melbourne. The firm provides MARA-registered visa advisory and application lodgement services across eight visa categories: Skilled (subclasses 189, 190, 491), Business and Investor (subclasses 188, 888), Parent (subclasses 103, 143, 870), Partner (onshore 820/801 and offshore 309/100), Visitor, Post-Study Work, Employer Sponsored (subclasses 482, 186), and Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA) visas. It serves individual migrants and families seeking permanent or temporary entry to Australia, with no enterprise or corporate anchor clients disclosed.

The firm operates without proprietary technology infrastructure — its digital surface consists of a content website with a non-AI eligibility assessment form, and all substantive service delivery is performed by MARA-registered human consultants. Geographic distribution comprises seven physical offices across six countries (Australia, Sri Lanka, Qatar, UAE, and India), with affiliated group companies (Austalent Network, Civicon Engineering, CLG, Ceilao Ezy, and us.lk) providing complementary talent placement, engineering, language training, and overseas education services.

AMC generates revenue through per-application professional service fees, with pricing ranging from approximately AUD195 for basic visitor visas up to AUD8,850+ for partner visa pathways and additional thresholds for business and investor visas. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, with customer acquisition driven by website inquiries, testimonials, referrals, in-person consultations across branch offices, and migration fair participation in key source markets such as Doha. The business is founder-led with no disclosed external investment, no funding rounds, and no parent company, operating alongside an affiliated group ecosystem that expands the addressable service surface beyond core migration advisory.
