A fraction of agent fees

Migration agents charge $2,500–$7,000+ to manage an application. LodgeWise reviews yours for a small flat fee — you keep the rest.

Every gap

Caught before they are

Inconsistencies, missing evidence, unanswered fields — the exact things an assessor refuses or queries applications over, flagged while you can still fix them.

How it works

From “what do I even need?” to ready to lodge.

Whether you're starting from scratch or checking a finished application, the path is the same four steps.

STEP 01

Tell us what you're lodging

Pick your application type. We tailor everything to its exact rules.

STEP 02

Answer or upload

No documents yet? We guide you through each form. Already done? Upload it.

STEP 03

AI reviews it

Every issue an assessor would find, listed plainly — with how to fix each one.

STEP 04

Fix, then lodge

Resolve the flags, re-check, and submit knowing it's right.

The cost of getting it wrong

A refusal doesn't just cost time. It costs the fee — and you can't get it back.

Government charges are non-refundable. One avoidable mistake can mean starting over, months lost, and paying the full fee twice. A quick review is the cheapest insurance you can buy.

$9,365

Government fee for a partner visa — forfeited entirely if it's refused

Australian visa applications were refused last year — most for avoidable reasons
