Why the Gold Coast Is a Great Place to Live and Work
The Gold Coast offers more than its beaches and lifestyle. It has a diverse and growing economy supported by healthcare, education, construction, tourism, professional services, technology, advanced manufacturing, marine, screen production and sport.
The region is home to major education providers, including Griffith University, Bond University and Southern Cross University, as well as established health, research and innovation precincts. These institutions support opportunities for international students, graduates, skilled professionals and families looking to establish themselves in South East Queensland.
For migrants planning a longer-term future in Australia, the Gold Coast combines employment opportunities with access to schools, healthcare, public transport, cultural communities and surrounding regional centres. Its location also provides convenient access to Brisbane and other parts of Queensland.
The Gold Coast’s economy continues to diversify beyond tourism and construction, with strong growth in health, knowledge industries, manufacturing and technology. This creates opportunities across a wider range of occupations and professional backgrounds
Migration Opportunities in South East Queensland
The Gold Coast is classified as a designated regional area for Australian migration purposes. This can make certain regional skilled and employer-sponsored visa pathways relevant to eligible applicants living, studying or working in the region.
Potential pathways may include the Skilled Nominated visa subclass 190, Skilled Work Regional visa subclass 491 and employer-sponsored options. Eligibility can depend on your occupation, skills assessment, English-language ability, points score, employment history, location and the requirements applying under Queensland’s current migration program.
Queensland publishes occupation lists for state nomination, and not every occupation is eligible for every visa subclass. Meeting the minimum requirements also does not guarantee nomination or an invitation to apply.
Our immigration lawyers can assist with:
- Assessing subclass 190 and subclass 491 eligibility
- Reviewing Queensland nomination requirements
- Identifying whether your occupation appears on the relevant list
- Checking skills assessment, English and points requirements
- Preparing or reviewing an Expression of Interest
- Advising on employer-sponsored and regional visa options
- Assessing pathways for international graduates and skilled workers
- Identifying alternative options where state nomination is unavailable
Queensland’s occupation lists, nomination criteria and invitation priorities can change, so applicants should obtain current advice before relying on a particular pathway.

Joan I.
I cannot thank Annie and the team enough for their help throughout my visa process.After separating from my husband, I was feeling overwhelmed and unsure what would happen with my Partner Visa application. The entire team was incredibly helpful throughout the process, always taking the time to explain things clearly and making what felt like a very stressful situation much easier to navigate.Everyone who assisted me was always responsive, professional, and supportive. Every step of the way they clearly explained what documents were required, what information needed to be updated, and if anything needed to be amended. They were always quick to answer my questions and made the whole process feel far less overwhelming.They prepared and submitted all the necessary documents relating to my separation, and I was amazed by the outcome. My visa application had been lodged in July 2025 and had not even been opened yet. Less than three weeks after the updated information was submitted, I was granted Permanent Residency.I honestly could not believe how quickly everything happened. The best part is knowing that my future in Australia is now secure and that I can continue raising my son here without any uncertainty about my visa status.I would highly recommend Augustine & Co. Immigration Lawyers to anyone needing immigration assistance. Thank you again for everything.

After a highly disappointing experience with an overseas consultancy that mishandled our Subclass 309 visa application, we were left feeling extremely distressed and uncertain about our future. Seeking professional assistance in Melbourne, we approached Augustine & Co, and from our very first conversation with Augustine, we felt reassured and confident that our case was finally in capable hands.Their professionalism, clear communication, and meticulous attention to detail were exceptional throughout the process. Thanks to their expertise and genuine support, our visa was successfully granted in may/2026. We are truly grateful and would highly recommend Augustine & Co to anyone seeking reliable migration assistance.

I would like to share my experience and journey with Augustine which has been a long process but definitely worth it.Jeff (my partner from Australia) and myself coming from Mauritius contacted Augustine in view of helping us in lodging our partner Visa (visa 820) i came on a visitors visa and lodge the application onshore. Jeff and i both decided to trust Augustine’s advice and we did exactly what they asked us to do.. anytime we needed some clarifications they always responded in view of giving us some clarity and help. After a year, we then added my daughter to my partner visa while i was still on bridging visa and again we did exactly what they told us to do.. after nearly two years of waiting period, our partner visa was granted.I definitely recommend Augustine as they are very trustful and professional advisors!Forever grateful to them!A big thanks to Annie ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Clothilde & Jeff S.
Thank you for all the staff at Augustine.We are a Maldivian couple.We have been trying to get our visa for years with constant issues. However, the team at Augustine made the processs seamless and organised everything to get our visa sorted.They helped us with our 482 visa.I would highly recommend Augustine to anyone who require help with their visas.They have made us very happy!
Yameen N.
If you want peace of mind with your visa, look no further than Augustine and Co. We originally applied through a consultancy that made the process an absolute nightmare with zero follow-ups. Calvin took over our messy case and completely changed the game. His communication was crystal clear and always prompt. We now have our Subclass 309 visa grant, all thanks to him. They truly are the best in the business!
Sandeep P
There are not enough words to thank Augustine & Co for all the help they have given me and my husband over the years. I placed my trust in them three years ago and now we are celebrating PR!!When we initially worked with them for the first visa, I was always anxious and had concerns which they were always quick to address. By the time we came to the final visa for PR, I was a lot more calmer and confident, even during the waiting period, as I knew we were in great hands. The application process is tough, and we went through it several times as we progressed through the Partner visas, but the Augustine & Co team never failed us. They 100% know what they are doing, understand exactly what requirements need to be fulfilled, and ensure everything is handled thoroughly and efficiently to achieve the best outcome.I will always recommend Augustine & Co to anyone who seeks help with their Australian dream.
Richelle Mae A.

The team at Augustine & Co. were phenomenal throughout my entire SC 190 visa application process. They managed everything seamlessly, from the initial skills assessment through to guiding me on the precise information and documentation required at each stage, and ultimately lodging my visa application.I genuinely don’t think I could have navigated the process with the level of speed and accuracy on my own.

I contacted Augustine & Co. Immigration Lawyers for the application of my wife's sc309 and sc100 visa. We trusted to go with them after the positive results from sc309 visa.

Sukhbir K.
I had a very complex and stressful immigration matter, and working with Augustine & Co. Immigration Lawyers made a significant difference in how I understood and approached my case.What stood out immediately was their depth of legal insight. Immigration law is not just complicated—it is highly technical, procedural, and often unforgiving when it comes to deadlines and evidentiary requirements. They took the time to break down the legal framework in a way that was clear and structured, especially around jurisdictional issues, tribunal processes, and the distinction between merits review and judicial review. This was something I struggled to fully grasp before engaging them.My case involved multiple layers, including a prior refusal, tribunal review, and the need to consider further legal pathways. Instead of giving generic advice, they carefully assessed the facts, identified the legal pressure points, and explained the realistic options available. They were very transparent about risks, prospects, and the limitations of the system, which I appreciated because it allowed me to make informed decisions rather than relying on false hope.Communication was also professional and responsive. They were able to explain complex legal concepts in practical terms, which is critical for someone navigating the immigration system without a legal background.Overall, Augustine & Co. provided not just legal services, but clarity in a very confusing legal landscape. If your case involves complications, refusals, or appeals, having a firm that truly understands the structure and strategy of immigration law is essential—and they demonstrated that capability throughout my experience.
Eri W.
I initially received negative feedback from a few lawyers due to their insufficient research. However, after conducting my own research, I came across this company.

My partner and I hired Augustine & Co. to prepare our paperwork and walk us through the process of applying for citizenship in Australia. We couldn't recommend them more. From our initial meeting to being approved by local council was about six months.The pricing was upfront without any hidden fees and reasonable. They answered all our questions in a timely fashion. When my application became more complicated, the helped me with that to ensure it would be accepted the first time around.

I'm 66 yo female American citizen with an Australian partner of +15 years. Our journey to obtaining a partner visa was long and difficult and in the end would have been almost impossible without the input of Augustine and Co.Calvin and Annie, a key associate at , guided us through the process of collecting the necessary documents and medical records for the 801 visa submission. The web portal that is set up for the documentation was particularly useful in data collection and structuring the submission.I am pleased to provide this testimonial supporting Augustine and Co for Australian immigration. One additional positive was the fact that services were provided on a lump sum fee basis. Calvin and Annie and the team were great! I very much appreciated their expertise and guidance.

We worked with Augustine & Co. on our Global Talent visa application, and we’re absolutely delighted to share that we were granted Permanent Residency!A massive thank you to Calvin for his incredible expertise and professionalism throughout the entire process. I'm originally from Ireland and a kickboxer, and Calvin and his team knew exactly how to present my application to meet the criteria confidently and clearly.What really stood out was how well-prepared everything was — immigration didn’t ask for a single extra document. Calvin and his team had it all covered from the start, and it was a straightforward grant with no delays or surprises.They were always just a phone call or message away, responsive and supportive every step of the way. We can’t recommend Augustine & Co. highly enough to anyone considering applying — thank you again for making this process so smooth and successful and giving us the Aussie dream! 🙌🏼🇦🇺🦘

We are delighted to share this five-star review for Calvin, Annie, and the entire team at Augustine & Co. Our Partner visa application was very complex and stretched over several years, marked by significant challenges including outright rejections, repeated correspondence related to health issues, and the need for multiple specialist medical examinations and cost assessments. With significant effort and guidance from Augustine & Co, we were able to successfully appeal an adverse MOC ruling which resulted in granting of the Partner visa. We wholeheartedly recommend Augustine & Co. to anyone navigating a challenging immigration process.

Annie was the primary contact for me and my wife to start our Partner Visa Application. Both Calvin and Annie were very helpful along the process, answering every question we had, no matter how silly we thought it to be. They were kind, courteous and ensured that we were on the right path towards a successful application. The rest of the team that were in contact with us, be it over the phone to email communications were understanding and also responded in a professional and timely manner.Calvin, Annie, and Raunak were the first to make sure that every document was filled out to the standard that the government requests, which then led to the successful application and a visa being granted within a reasonable timeframe.I cannot speak highly enough about the Augustine & Co. team, and should there be anyone in our sphere who may need immigration law support, or any of their extended services, they would be the first Law Firm I would recommend!

Calvin and Annie had been such a great help in assisting/consulting me to get my visa 190. I’ve been through so many migration agents and lawyers, wasting a lot of money.

Joey T.
We have been delighted with the guidance and support Augustine & Co., Immigration Lawyers have provided my wife and I for the Partner Visa SC100 application for my wife. Normally ours wouldn’t have been a complex case, my wife is a US Citizen and having been married 14 years. However, on account of Covid interruptions and many international borders being closed and our somewhat nomadic lifestyle during the last 2 years, there were added complexities obtaining fingerprints, police reports, medical checks, and biometrics from various foreign countries where English was not always the prevalent language. Augustine & Co. were supremely patient and supportive and extremely helpful in their guidance along the way, and so we made it! January 2022 and the official notification of acceptance came through – a great way to start the year!
Our sincere thanks to Augustine and Co.!!

Thinking of a visa pathway to PR has got to be one of the most stressful things to do and research yourself. True, all the information is online but even so, it is super overwhelming. l am so glad to have contacted and cosulted with Calvin. Despite all my initial thoughts on which visas I wanted to get, he is very direct to tell you if you're elidgible or not. I needed to hear that so I don't spend thousands on applying for something that will give me nothing. He give me advise on a pathway to PR and is very knowledgeable about this stuff. He forwards the document to read and summary of our conversation which proves very helpful. I commend Calvin for his work.
