Navigating your path to a new life in Australia
About McLean Legal
Our Mission
We specialise in delivering expert immigration law services tailored to each client’s individual circumstances. Our mission is to simplify the complexities of the Australian immigration process with clear guidance and compassionate support, helping clients achieve their migration goals.
Our Expertise
With in-depth knowledge of Australia’s immigration system, we deliver tailored legal strategies designed to meet your specific needs. We are committed to guiding you through complex migration processes with clarity, precision, and a personal touch.
Our Client-Centered Approach
At McLean Legal, our clients are at the heart of everything we do. We take the time to understand your concerns, listen to your goals, and work collaboratively to achieve the best possible immigration outcome. Our compassionate and personalised legal services are designed to meet the unique needs of individuals and families across Australia.
Australia-wide Assistance
We proudly operate on a remote-first basis, enabling us to support clients across Australia—including Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and beyond—as well as internationally. Our flexible consultation hours, including after-hours availability, ensure that our immigration legal services are accessible and convenient, no matter where you are located.
Our Services
Visa Applications
We provide expert legal assistance with a wide range of temporary and permanent visa options, including skilled, family, partner, student, protection, and refugee visas. We support clients across Australia and internationally, ensuring each application is carefully prepared for the best possible outcome.
Character Matters
We assist clients whose visas have been cancelled or refused due to character concerns, offering expert legal support at every stage—whether at the Department level, before the Administrative Review Tribunal, or in judicial review. We have particular expertise in challenging personal decisions made by the Minister for Home Affairs, especially in cases involving national interest or national security. If you have received a Notice of Intention to Consider Refusal (NOICR) or a Notice of Intention to Consider Cancellation (NOICC), it is critical to seek legal advice promptly, as strict time limits apply to respond and protect your visa status.
Merits Review
We represent clients before the Administrative Review Tribunal in matters involving visa refusals, visa cancellations, and complex citizenship application refusals. We provide strategic advocacy to help clients across Australia navigate the review process with confidence.
Judicial Review
We have specialised expertise in judicial review of migration decisions, including visa refusals and cancellations. We have successfully represented clients in the Federal Circuit and Family Court, the Federal Court, and the High Court of Australia. Given the strict time limits for initiating judicial review, it’s essential to seek legal advice as early as possible to protect your rights and build a strong case.
Citizenship
We assist clients with Australian citizenship applications, with a strong focus on complex matters involving identity discrepancies or character concerns. If your citizenship application has been refused, we can also assist with merits review or judicial review to challenge the decision and protect your rights.
