Navigating Immigration Law with Marsha Bassily

Immigration law is one of the most dynamic and politically charged areas of legal practice.

Australia is a migrant nation. Immigration is central to our national story, and the melting pot society that we take for granted is built on the backs of those who choose Australia to call home. We have an intricate system designed to regulate who can enter, work, and ultimately settle in our country.

Lawyers practising in the immigration space interpret and implement the continuously moving target that is Migration Act 1958 (Cth). The landscape of who can give immigration advice is also subject to change and – in just one example – that landscape underwent significant change just a few years ago in 2021.

Marsha Bassily, Principal Immigration Solicitor at MB Lawyers joins Hearsay to share her insights on working in the immigration space. Drawing from her 19 years of experience in the area, Marsha provides expert commentary on the future of skilled migration in Australia, revisit the removal of the dual registration requirement and examine the Novak Djokovic deportation.
