What our clients say.

Top rated Australian immigration support.
Nothing was too much trouble.

"Phi and the team at Catalyst were professional, responsive and caring. Nothing was too much trouble. It was clear from day 1 that we were in safe hands and would be supported through our immigration journey.

The process is really daunting, but Phi and the team made the complex simple and were clear, concise and practical at every turn. It was a pleasure working with them. Phi demonstrated care, empathy and commitment during the process and I am very grateful for how me and my family were treated as clients. I would highly recommend Phi and the team.

I really appreciated Phi calling me in person to tell me my family application was successful. It meant a lot to our family and the personal touch demonstrated to me that I was a person to Phi as well as a client."

Our expertise.

We help HR, legal, and operations teams handle immigration with less stress, more certainty, and more business continuity. Whether you’re planning ahead or putting out fires, we design visa and compliance strategies that scale with your workforce and keep you out of trouble with the Department.

When you work with us, you get a partner who is always on top of the latest changes to the rules, who speaks both law and business, translates complex technical language into plain English, and genuinely gives a damn about getting it right.

Visa Strategy & Compliance Advisory

Strategic, proactive immigration planning that helps you stay ahead of your workforce needs, not clean up the problem later..

Immigration issues start long before paperwork does. We help you plan workforce mobility with clear, risk-aware visa strategies that support hiring, compliance and operations.

Strategic workforce planning and visa requirement advice
Preliminary visa eligibility assessments

Employer-Sponsored Visa Applications

Full-service management from sponsorship approval to final visa grant. We wrangle the papers so your hire can just… get to work.

From commencement to instructions to proceed, we handle the entire employer-sponsored visa process with precision, speed, and zero legal gibberish. You’ll always know what’s happening, when, and why.

INCLUDES
Business Sponsorship approvals for onshore and offshore entities
482 Skills in Demand (SID)Visa

186 Employer Nomination Scheme Visa
Outcome
A clear path from role identification to visa grant without last-minute scrambles or nasty Department surprises.

Labour Agreements

When the standard route doesn’t work, we find a pathway that does.

When the occupation lists don’t match the real world (which is… often), Labour Agreements unlock the workforce you actually need. They’re complex which is why we handle everything from negotiating and liaising with the Department and unions to concessions to implementation. (Complex is our happy place).

INCLUDES
Preparing and negotiating Labour Agreements with the Department and unions
Securing concessions for unique or high-demand roles
Ongoing compliance and implementation support
Outcome
Stable staffing pipelines for industries the standard visa system doesn’t properly serve.

We can’t change the rules, but we’re very good at navigating them.

We’re here to make immigration feel less like a maze and more like a smooth path towards outcomes you can count on.

Great people skills

I felt so lucky to have Phi Vo as an agent working with me on my immigration portfolio. She was clearly very knowledgeable, but more than that she had great people skills. I knew nothing about migration law, and had lots of questions, and she took the time to explain and reexplain the law and strategies, and to answer all my questions. I never felt rushed or foolish in any way. I would work with them again in a heartbeat.
