The fine print, in plain English.
Which visas does the guarantee cover?
The No Visa, No Fee Guarantee applies to eligible partner visa applications. Whether your case qualifies is confirmed on your free strategy call.
Does No Visa, No Fee mean there is no upfront professional fee?
No. Professional fees are paid under the written engagement agreement. If the application is not approved and every guarantee condition is met, the covered professional fees are refunded under the agreed process. Government and third-party charges are never part of that refund.
What gets refunded?
Our professional (legal) fees. Government application charges are paid to the Department of Home Affairs and are outside our control.
What are the conditions?
Conditions include things like providing full and accurate information and following our advice throughout the process. The complete terms are set out in your engagement agreement before you engage us.
Does the promise mean my visa will be approved?
No. Home Affairs decides every application on its own facts. The promise concerns a conditional refund of covered professional fees; it is not a guarantee of visa approval.

The full terms, in writing.
A summary of how the No Visa, No Fee Guarantee works. The complete, governing terms for your matter are set out in your individual engagement agreement.
What the guarantee covers
The guarantee applies to the professional fees charged by our legal practice for preparing and managing Australian partner visa applications only (Subclass 820, 801, 309, 100 or 300).
What it does not cover
The guarantee does not cover disbursements, government fees, third-party charges (for example, medical examinations and police checks) or other external costs. Government charges are set by the Department of Home Affairs and are outside our control.
Eligibility
To be eligible for a refund under the guarantee, you must:
- engage our firm under a written retainer agreement;
- fulfil all client obligations as outlined in that agreement; and
- have the visa refused by the Department for reasons within our control.
When the guarantee does not apply
The guarantee does not apply where an application is refused due to:
- relationship breakdown between the applicant and sponsor before the visa decision;
- health issues preventing the applicant from meeting the health criteria;
- character issues for either the applicant or the sponsor;
- sponsorship limitations, such as exceeding sponsorship caps;
- sponsor unavailability due to death, incapacity, or withdrawal;
- non-compliance with the Department's requests or timelines;
- incomplete or inaccurate information provided by the client;
- failure to satisfy a Public Interest Criterion or Schedule 3 criteria; or
- failure to follow our recommendations, instructions, or strategic advice.
How to claim a refund
Refund requests must be submitted in writing within 30 days of the refusal notice. Where a claim is approved, professional fees are refunded in equal weekly instalments over a period of 26 weeks, commencing within 5 business days.
Your obligations
Applicants and sponsors must:
- provide accurate and truthful information at all times;
- supply all requested documentation within the specified timeframes; and
- adhere to all legal and regulatory requirements.
