On 15 April 2024, the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (the Authority) decided to bar the Former Agent Ms Eidy Douglas (MARN 1573017), from applying to be a registered as a migration agent,
The Authority found that the Former Agent breached her obligations under clauses 2.1(b), 2.3, 2.4, 2.8, 2.17, 2.23 and 5.3, of the former Code for registered migration agents.
The Authority found that the Former Agent:
• Lodged visa applications and review applications with no hope of success;
• Did not have sound working knowledge of relevant migration legislation and due regard for her client’s dependence on her knowledge;
• Unnecessarily incurred additional significant costs to her clients;
• Did not act competently and failed to provide any evidence of any notes of interaction with her clients.

The Former Agent is barred from applying to be a registered migration agent for a period of two (2) years from the date of the Authority’s decision.

On 27 November 2024 the Administrative Review Tribunal varied the decision under section 103 of the ART Act as the parties had reached an agreement.
