Lauri Stewart, Stewart Administrative & Migration Lawyers

As the only immigration and citizenship lawyer in Gippsland, Lauri Stewart is proud to offer these and other legal services to our community. With more than 10 years experience working in private and not-forprofit immigration firms in Melbourne, including appearing before the High Court of Australia and parliamentary Senate Committees, Lauri has returned to West Gippsland and established Stewart Administrative & Migration Lawyers.

With recent government announcements confirming the commencement of two new visas for people wanting to live and work in regional Australia, Lauri believes that this is a great opportunity for migrants living in Baw Baw Shire and beyond to reunite with family members overseas; and an exciting opportunity for local businesses looking to hire skilled workers in specialised fields which are not otherwise catered for within the current migration program. Additional visa classes permitting parents to be sponsored by their Australian children have also been announced, providing an alternative to the current scheme which requires applicants to choose between extensive application fees and incredibly long waiting times.

Lauri would love the opportunity to talk to you about these new visa subclasses, or any other immigration, citizenship or administrative law questions you may have. She can be contacted on 0409 921 585 or by email at lauri@stew artamlawyers.com
