What we can do for you

GLITF Victoria is a voluntary organisation. We receive no government funding and depend on subscriptions and sales of our guidebook, The GLITF Guide to Applying for Partner Migration. Our office bearers and Migration Advisers give their services to members absolutely free.

We cannot offer an around-the-clock service like a fee-charging lawyer or migration agent — but we will help you to help yourself. Come to the Monday meetings for general information and advice. Before asking for advice, please do your homework: read the GLITF guidebook and the Home Affairs Partner booklet. You drive your application — we guide you along the way.

Members in Melbourne with an urgent issue can email GLITF. Your message will be forwarded to one of our Migration Advisers. We cannot guarantee replies outside meeting times, and advice is not given over the phone.

Members living overseas or far from Melbourne who cannot attend Monday meetings may email GLITF for advice on their own situation. General questions answered in the guidebook cannot be answered outside meeting times.
